Directory Structure
Configuration
Catalyst offers a powerful configuration system. We use it to provide application-wide, per-page, and per-session configuration. In addition, local configuration files can be used to override any configuration option for production or development deployment.
Here, $ROOT refers to the document root of your application.
$ROOT/wormbase.yml
This file contains the default configuration for the application. The application defaults to using remote data sources. If you would like to override this, see wormbase_local.yml.
$ROOT/wormbase.yml.template
Move this template file to wormbase_local.yml and edit values to locally override the default configuration variables. This file is maintainted in SVN as a template so that individual development preferences are not obliterated by an inadvertent svn commit.
Application structure
The general structure of the application mirrors the organization in Acedb. Separate Model::* packages correspond to classes in Acedb.

Widgets
Widgets are distinct presentation elements of a given model. Widgets correspond to sections in the previous WormBase site. For example, the Gene page has widgets for Identification, Location, and so on.

Creating new Models and Controllers
1. Create your new Model or Controller using the wormbase_create.pl script. This script provides stub formatting, documentation, and test files.
$ROOT/scripts/wormbase_create.pl model Test
Creates...
[todd@micos trunk:23]$ ./script/wormbase_create.pl model Test exists "/Users/todd/projects/wormbase/website/trunk/script/../lib/WormBase/Model" exists "/Users/todd/projects/wormbase/website/trunk/script/../t" created "/Users/todd/projects/wormbase/website/trunk/script/../lib/WormBase/Model/Test.pm" created "/Users/todd/projects/wormbase/website/trunk/script/../t/model_Test.t"
