NAME Catalyst::Plugin::OrderedParams - Maintain order of submitted form parameters SYNOPSIS use Catalyst 'OrderedParams'; DESCRIPTION This plugin enables handling of GET and POST parameters in an ordered fashion. By default in Catalyst, form parameters are stored in a simple hash, which loses the original order in which the paramters were submitted. This plugin stores parameters in a Tie::IxHash which will retain the original submitted order. One particular application for this plugin is email handlers, where you want the output of your email to reflect the order of form elements in the form. Simply add this plugin to your application and the following code will be in the proper order. for my $param ( $c->req->param ) { $email .= $param . ": " . $c->req->param( $param ); } METHODS prepare_request (extended) Replace the parameters hash in Catalyst::Request with a tied hash.
