  use base qw(
      Catalyst::Controller::Resources
      Catalyst::Controller::RequestToken
  );
  
  sub post :CreateToken {
      my ($self, $c) = @_;
      $c->stash->{template} = 'foo/post.tt';
      $c->forward($c->view('TT'));
  }
  
  sub create :ValidateToken {
      my ($self, $c) = @_;

      if ($self->validate_token) {
          $c->res->body('complete.');
      }
      else {
          $c->res->body('invalid operation.');
      }
  }

  <html>
    <body>
      <form action="[% c.uri_for('/foo') %]" method="post">
        <input type="hidden" name="_token" values="[% c.req.param('_token') %]"/>
        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="complete"/>
