Looking at the Component configuration section in the Catalyst::Manual::ExtendingCatalyst POD, I see I should be able to access my component's config with $self->config. However, that's empty. Here's my setup, including variations I've tried.

package MyApp::Controller::Foo;
use Data::Dumper;
...
sub auto {
    my( $self, $c ) = @_;

    $c->log->debug( Dumper(__PACKAGE__->config) ); # yields { }
    $c->log->debug( Dumper($self->config) );       # yields { } (metho
+d I think I should work per doc)
    $c->log->debug( Dumper($c->config) );          # the whole config 
+tree, not just this component's

    #$c->config->{'Controller::Foo'}->... # the only way I've figured 
+out to access local config (fixed typo)
}

# MyApp.conf  variation 1
name MyAPP

<Controller Foo>
  foo bar
</Controller>

# MyApp.conf  variation 2  -- no difference in results from 1
name MyApp

<MyApp>
  <Controller Foo>
    foo bar
  </Controller>
</MyApp>

What am I doing wrong? Or, if I'm looking at the wrong docs, which should I be looking at?
