Catalyst-Seal After setup_finalize a Catalyst application is frozen: the class tree, the configuration, the action table and the attribute layouts all stop changing. Catalyst goes on re-deriving those facts from the metaobject protocol on every request. Catalyst::Seal makes one pass at the end of setup() and compiles the frozen facts into constant form. package MyApp; use Catalyst::Seal; use Catalyst qw/ ConfigLoader Static::Simple /; __PACKAGE__->setup(); No other application change. CATALYST_SEAL=0 turns it off, CATALYST_SEAL_DEBUG=1 reports what was sealed and what was skipped. Several patches here are a copy of a Catalyst subroutine with one thing changed, so this release is written against the Catalyst named in Changes. Where a patch can tell at runtime that what it assumed has stopped holding, it declines and records a note; it does not check the Catalyst version for you.
