Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

In my Catalyst test using Catalyst::Test, I need to override a piece of configuration that is stored in the myapp.conf file. How do I do that? How do I get a reference to the usual $c object, for that matter?

    Take a peek in Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader for the many places and ways you can influence configuration. Some version of this should do it. 

    BEGIN {
  $ENV{MYAPP_CONFIG_LOCAL_SUFFIX} = "_test";
}
# Where myapp_test.yml has the override
# setting (plus whatever _local mods you have too), e.g.-
