Hi Monks,
I have a question regarding basic Catalyst dispatching. Lets say I have a public url like this: 
/app/reporting/42

[download]
Which displays reports about the account with account_id 42. I tried this: 
package MyApp::Controller::App::Reporting;

use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;

BEGIN {
    extends 'Catalyst::Controller';
}

sub reporting :Chained('chained_index') PathPart('reporting') Args(1) 
+{
    my( $self, $c, $account_id ) = @_;
    $c->log->debug( "Generating report for account $account_if" );
}

[download]
But when I fire up my Catalyst servers I see this: 
[debug] Unattached Chained actions:

.-------------------------------------+-------------------------------
+-------.
| Private                             | Missing parent                
+       |
+-------------------------------------+-------------------------------
+-------+
| /app/reporting/reporting            | /app/reporting/chained_index  
+       |
'-------------------------------------+-------------------------------
+-------'

My question is how do I go about creating a method that will handle requests to urls of the form /app/reporting/id, In general I am trying to wrap my head around Catlayst controllers, in particular, how to structure controller for paths. Eventually (next week) I'll need to do create controllers to handle requests like: 
/app/reporting/42/product_group/foo/product/bar

[download]
that will need to report on account id 42, product group id 'foo' and product id 'bar'. How would I do this? Thanks in advance for the help monks. Any help in the right direction would be awesome. I'm reading the docs but still not getting it.
