I would say that making sure the deps are correct would not be the job of CatalystX::Installer, but the developer of the app. What I hope CatalystX::Installer will be, is something that I can use in my apps to make them easier to set up for people installing the app. This for me includes: - dependency handling any deps the app needs, that isn't available, or the wrong version should be installed / helped installed. For instance, a debian user might want suggestions for debian packages to install (quite large scope :p) For me it should not infer deps automaticly at this time, that the developer should do before releasing his app. - app configuration Databases, paths, etc. This needs to be very customizable/pluggable. For instance in easycms2, I have a config setting for what resizes to make of pictures. It would be classy if I could easily map this to some webform using CatalystX::Installer :p - schema deployment / upgrades Deploy or upgrade the given database-configuration. This sort of infers that the CatalystX::Installer also can be used for upgrades :p - example configurations For apache, lighty, nginx, perlbal(?), http-server, fastcgi etc. Perhaps it could even go as far as trying to put config under the propper /etc/apache/conf-enabled or whatever (this becomes distro- specific, and probably needs to be pluggable) - Running tests.

[Catalyst] Output as XML

I'm generating XML from database queries in a catalyst app. At the moment, I am doing it a bit like this (simplified for readability): - # controller.pm /controller/action/parm1/parm2/parm3/something.xml sub action : Local { ... $c-stash-{records} = [ $c-model('table')-search( {}, { rows = 20, page 2 } ) ]; $c-res-content_type('text/xml'); $c-.res-header('Content-disposition' = 'attachment; filename=action_${timestamp}.xml'); $c-res-template('xml/action.xml'); } # xml/action.xml ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8 ? records [% FOREACH record IN records -%] record id=[% record.id %] field1[% record.field1 %]/field1 field2[% record.field2 %]/field2 field3[% record.field3 %]/field3 /record [% END # foreach record -%] /records --- This approach works fine for paged record sets ( that get loaded into an ExtJS ajax grid ). When I use this on a record set of 15k-16k records, the app goes to 100% CPU and cannot complete the request after several minutes. There is a lot of overhead to generate 16k DBIC objects, dump them in an array, and then manipulate them through TT.
