Yuk, as we get plain old perl method dispatch order, so you get:
Other::Thing => Catalyst::Controller;
I guess adding the incantation:
use MRO::Compat;
use mro 'c3';
to the controllers in question would also help, as the C3 dispatch
order would be:
Other::Thing => Controller::FormFu => Catalyst::Controller.
I note that you say $self->SUPER in Controller::FormFu, which is a
bad idea - this is certain to call the method in your direct parent
(i.e. Catalyst::Controller), excluding any other multiply inherited
base classes which would like a stab at create_action also :_(
If any Cat dev could point me to a Cat controller that does the action
registering correctly, so I can fix C-C-HTML-FormFu, I'd very much
appreciate it.
In 5.80, a better solution might be to use a controller role, and use
an around modifier on get_action_methods'. I'm not sure if that would
actually be more elegant or not, but using Moose roles puts you at
less risk of getting hurt by multiple inheritance.
I appreciate that this would probably be a rather large change for
Controller::FormFu however :)
