[Dancer-users] applying the same setting to different routes in different packages

[P Kishor]

A stylistic question, perhaps a strategy question. This is what I do right now

- foo.pl ---
use Dancer;
..
load_app 'foo';
dance;
----

- foo.pm ---
load_app 'foo:bar', prefix => '/bar';
load_app 'foo:baz', prefix => '/baz';

get '/' => sub { template 'index', opts(); };

sub opts {
    return {
        various settings;
        'logged_in' => session->{logged_in} ? 1 : 0;
    }
}
----

- foo/foo.pm ---
get '/' => sub { template 'index', opts(); };

sub opts {
    return {
        various settings;
        'logged_in' => session->{logged_in} ? 1 : 0;
    }
}
----

- foo/bar.pm ---
get '/' => sub { template 'index', opts(); };

sub opts {
    return {
        various settings;
        'logged_in' => session->{logged_in} ? 1 : 0;
    }
}
----

While some of the "various settings" are different in the different
packages, some of them are the same. Definitely, 'logged_in' is the
same across all the packages, so I want to set it only in one place.
Since Dancer doesn't support the concept of creating a base class, and
then inheriting from it, how do I apply same settings to any route in
any package or sub-package?
