\nI’ve been using Catalyst<\/a> quite a bit recently. For those of you who don’t know what Catalyst is, the easiest buzzword compliant comparison is Ruby On Rails<\/a> for Perl<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\nNormally in Catalyst if you want to break the flow from a current method, you use the forward<\/code> method of the catalyst object<\/a> to internally redirect to a new handler.\n<\/p>\n

\nImagine I have a handler responding to requests at \/test<\/code>.\n<\/p>\n

\nIf I want my request to be dealt with by the handler at \/robspage<\/code> I can issue a forward request in the handler at \/test<\/code> like this…\n<\/p>\n

$c->forward($c->uri_for('\/robspage'));
\n## code will continue here.
\n<\/code><\/div>\n

\nOnce the code at \/robspage<\/code> has run, control returns to the calling handler.\n<\/p>\n

\nThis isn’t always what is needed, if I don’t want the handler to return and keep running I would need to use the detach<\/code> method instead.\n<\/p>\n

$c->detach($c->uri_for('\/robspage'));
\n## code will not continue here.
\n<\/code><\/div>\n

\nThis is great, however, the calling URL will not change and the user will not know they are actually seeing \/robspage<\/code> instead of \/test<\/code>. Sometimes this is the behaviour we want, however in this case I want the user to know a redirect has happened and for this to be reflected in their browser.\n<\/p>\n

\nTo achieve this, we have to use the redirect<\/code> method of the the response<\/code><\/a> object.\n<\/p>\n

$c->res->redirect($c->uri_for('\/robspage'));
\n$c->detach();
\n<\/code><\/div>\n

\nNote that I have added a $c->detach();<\/code> call after the redirect as I don’t want the processing chain to continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
