DESCRIPTION

This module is no longer needed, since Kelp::Routes handles reblessing by itself when configured with rebless. It's only here for backward compatibility and documentation purposes.

This router module reblesses a Kelp application into its own controller class. This allows you to structure your web application in a classic object oriented fashion, having $self an instance to the current class rather than the main web application.

You must create a main controller class which inherits from Kelp. Each subsequent class can inherit from this class, taking advantage of any common functionality.
