Catalyst helpers - plugins for Module::Starter?

Code generation is hard. First of all it is hard to determine what really needs to be created - in (computing science) theory you can always uncurry the generator and use it as a library. So you need different theory to really determine if code generation makes sense at all. In practice many people use it - since it let's us start new projects faster (and more correctly). This is an interesting subject deserving many more blog posts - but for now I just wanted to toss the idea that joining forces with other Perl projects facing this problem could help us improve the mess that is Catalyst helpers now.

I've learned about Module::Starter plugins from Recursive development that leads nowhere.
