Incorrect/duplicate cpan urls

[runarbu]

When you search on Google or cpan for "Catalyst::Action::REST" I get links to http://search.cpan.org/~jjnapiork/Catalyst-Action-REST-1.20/lib/Catalyst/Action/REST.pm , but ther is also information about this modules under http://search.cpan.org/~jjnapiork/Catalyst-Action-REST/lib/Catalyst/Controller/REST.pm .

Comparing the two urls and they seems to be almust the same:

• http://search.cpan.org/~jjnapiork/Catalyst-Action-REST-1.20/lib/Catalyst/Action/REST.pm
• http://search.cpan.org/~jjnapiork/Catalyst-Action-REST/lib/Catalyst/Controller/REST.pm

But the last one have a lot more documentation. The first one do for example not mention the "json_options" option.

Maby you should remove one of the modules so people know witch one is has the correct documentation?

So sadly this is a historical thing. Originally first came the
ActionClass, and the the controller was added later.

Probably should have been Catalyst::REST or similar

I don't think there's a lot we can do at this point since its been around a
long time. We could add a documentation patch to Catalyst::Action::REST
that pointed to the controller and saying 'read here for more'.

My approach has been to slowly bust out this thing into separate bits using
roles. In the future I hope we can move away from CAR and just use the
stand alone bits as needed.
