the problem is in this line  my $persid = $c->model('AddressDB::Addresses')->find({person => $id});

That line, or perhaps the next one. They both call a find method.

Whichever line it is though, the problem is that the call to $c->model is returning undef.

i've tried to see what's in  c->model and came up with this error Use of uninitialized value $_[0] in join or string at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Catalyst/Log.pm line 88. and this is the line 88  my $message = join( "\n", @_ ); from fct

 sub _log {
    my $self    = shift;
    my $level   = shift;
    my $message = join( "\n", @_ );
    $message .= "\n" unless $message =~ /\n$/;
    my $body = $self->_body;
    $body .= sprintf( "[%s] %s", $level, $message );
    $self->_body($body);
}

any idea?
