in reply to Catalyst controller comparison fails in Root controller auto()

The reload "-r" option is probably the culprit. One should never use it in a production environment and dynamically [un|re]loading modules and controllers is a bit like cutting the branch you are sitting on.

Does the same thing happen if you run your application without the "-r" option?

    I'm only using the -r option in development, but was initially alarmed at the possible prospect of similar behaviour in production, until I realized that Catalyst would never have become popular with that kind of instability so that the fault had to lie elsewhere (probably in my vicinity).

    Setting up a script to repeatedly submit an incorrectly completed registration page to Catalyst running without -r option for my reassurance.

    It seems like I was not following good practice, so will try an alternative way of achieving the same end.

    Thanks
