in thread Placing Catalyst Database Connections Settings Outside .conf File

I am a fool.

When I set out to copy the exact language of the error I was getting with one of the options, I realized I was using the built-in server incorrectly -- if it is not run from the directory containing the catalyst app, it will load the app, report no errors but break when it cannot locate the database because of a path problem.

Thanks for the advice and forbearance.

    This might be what you're after.

      dsn => 'dbi:SQLite:' . SamPool->path_to('/data/SamPool.db'),

    If not, check out Config::JFDI. Many Cat devs use this to consume the application's configuration in different contexts.
