I like Squatting quite a bit John. It seems about as nice as my favorite CGI::Prototype. I have some comments to make about the docs here.

controller did model things

In the SYNOPSIS where you show a basic app, we see the following in the controller:
# STEP 2 => Create a Controllers package { package App::Controllers; use Squatting ':controllers'; # Setup a list of controller objects in @C using the C() function. our @C = ( C( Home => [ '/' ], get => sub { my ($self) = @_; my $v = $self->v; $v->{title} = 'A Simple Squatting Application'; $v->{message} = 'Hello, World!'; $self->render('home'); }, post => sub { } ), ); }
But I dont think $v->{title} or $v->{message} are view. They should have been pulled from the model by the view. And they certainly dont belong in the controller, whose only job is to pick a particular model and view and let them do the work.
