That trait adds a few methods to the request object to facilitate writing REST-y code. This class is only here for backwards compatibility with applications already subclassing this class. New code should use L directly. L and L will arrange for the request trait to be applied if needed. =head1 SEE ALSO L. =head1 AUTHORS See L for authors. =head1 LICENSE You may distribute this code under the same terms as Perl itself. =cut
