I wouldn't put these constants in the applications main configuration file unless the constants are for the application. Jarom's example indicates the constants have to do with data coming from a model so I'd put them in a package in the model's namespace. That way MVC separation is maintained *and* you have access to the constants outside the catalyst app if needed. --[Lance] -- GPG Fingerprint: 409B A409 A38D 92BF 15D9 6EEE 9A82 F2AC 69AC 07B9 CACert.org Assurer _______________________________________________ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
