I'm attempting to override a Mason method on one of my pages. I'd like to inherit the behavior of the parent method, but add a few bits to the output.
My hierarchy looks like this: 
auto -> auto2 -> my_page

[download]
The parent method "leftnav" is defined in auto.
I expected my code in my page to look something like this: 
<%method leftnav>
<%perl>
    $m->comp( PARENT:leftnav, %ARGS );
    # some code here to add some stuff at the bottom
</%perl>
</%method>

The above does not work.
Question:
* Is there a syntax for "PARENT"? What is it?
* If no, how to code something like this?
