I just mean that you set it by saying "$r->config->{uri_base}". And
that setting is put into a template variable called "base" in the
Maypole::View::Base::vars sub.

Where object is "Presentation" Type right ? I like that too. Let me
see if I can sum up the structure you have in mind:
Controller -- Handles apache request controls dictates flow.
Presentation -- Presents the web interface to the model. Defines
actions, the uri base for this model, and form inputs (?). Sets
template variables. Delegates data manipulation to model.
Model -- Simple a plain class used to manipulate data in a table. Can
be used outside maypole without issue and knows nothing about Maypole
or anything else in the framework.
View -- Maypole::View type class and the templates
That sound about right? Makes sense to me. Simon actually said he
should have separated out the actions from the model. I did not fully
appreciate it at time but I see the benefit now.
Except for one thing: It is trivial to set up a cdbi class on a table.
How much of the code do you actually reuse across Maypole and non
maypole processes ? . The part I use outside of Maypole is simple the
3 or 4 lines of code to setup the class across the db in general but
I could see how you could share more model activity than that.
At any rate it seems it would be fairly simple to factor out a
Presentation layer. Could base presentation on the model class or
have it delegate to it. I think i like delegation but that may make
some backward incompatibilities. I wonder what Catalyst does ?
