I am working on a project and using Plack for the first time. I am having a little problem getting my static files served...

Directory structure: 
app/test.psgi
app/pod-files/test.pod
app/static/test.html
app/html-files/test.html

[download]
The code I have for the builder part in test.psgi is: 
builder {
    enable "Static",
        path => qr!^/static!,
        ;
    enable "Plack::Middleware::Pod", # great module!
        path => qr!^/pod!,
        root => 'pod-files',
        pod_view => 'Pod::POM::View::HTML',
        ;
    $app;
};

[download]
The pod and static files serve up fine: 
/app/pod/test.pod        OK
/app/static/test.html    OK

[download]
But I want to serve the static files from a different directory to static, so I change the builder to: 
builder {
    enable "Static",
        path => qr!^/static!,
        root => 'html-files',
        ;
    enable "Plack::Middleware::Pod",
        path => qr!^/pod!,
        root => 'pod-files',
        pod_view => 'Pod::POM::View::HTML',
        ;
    $app;
};

[download]
But, this doesnt work - I now get: 
/app/pod/test.pod        OK
/app/static/test.html    not found

I have played around with different values of 'root' but no luck. Any help appreciated.

** Update: managed to work it out - see my comment below
