Re: [Catalyst] Using a post argument in a template
I can stash and array and when I use [% c.stash.mylist %] in the template, it prints 'ARRAY(0x94023b0)' but if I try: [% FOREACH element IN c.stash.mylist %] [% element %] [% END %] the output is null.

Cool. I was unaware how the stash worked. I can see the benefit of encapsulating
each component. Thanks!

Re: [Catalyst] Using a post argument in a template
I did. I want to use it as a variable even though it's passed in as an arg.
I didn't mean to be unclear, sorry. Once it's stashed, can I use it like
[% myarg %] in a template? or [% c.stash.myarg %]?

You want to put the data into the 'stash'.
So in your controller you have:
my ( $self, $c, $arg ) = @_;
$arg =~ s/stuff/munge/;
$c->stash->{somearg} = $arg;
And in your view, you say: [% c.stash.somearg %]
You don't really want the view to be able to see the controller's
internal state / mechanics, and so you have to explicitly stash any
data which you want to be able to see from the view.

You said argument in your original post:
sub foo : Local {
my ( $self, $c, $myarg ) = @_;
$c->stash->{myarg} = $self->munge( $myarg );
# or use chaining
}

Munged argument is [% myarg | html %]

It's that wording that is tripping me up. ;)

Re: [Catalyst] Using a post argument in a template
I was trying to munge the paramaters in the controller, I just can't figure
out how to access the variables of a controller method in the template. I'd
be more than happy to pass the argument to a controller, and then have the
view fetch it from the controller, and then the template read it from the view,

You want [% c.req.body_params.myarg %] if it's a post, [%
c.req.params.myarg %] if you don't care. I would munge the parameters
in the controller and try to formalize an API to interact with the
view though. Also, avoid making your view-side code be
controller-dependent, you'll surely regret it later.

[Catalyst] Using a post argument in a template
I'm passing an argument to the method via a post, and then catch it with
my ( $self, $c, $myarg ) = @_; shouldn't there be a way to mine it without
using [% c.req.arguments.0 %] in the template?
like [% c.controller('Page').methodname.myarg %] or something...
I'm trying to get my head around what catalyst expects...
