Dear monks, I require your wisdom!

I am using Catalyst and am very happily chaining away, however, I was trying to use begin/end methods in my controllers to do controller-specific stuff which would be needed in the respective controller.

now when I have a Root, a Foo and a Foo::Bar controller, and call a path resolving to an action in Foo::Bar, I was expecting this:

Root->begin gets called

Foo->begin gets called

Foo::Bar->begin gets called

... called action doing stuff here, e.g. Foo::Bar->hello

Foo::Bar->end gets called

Foo->end gets called

Root->end comes last.

Is this expectation entirely off? Or is it spot on and I am doing something wrong somehow? I have built a simple Catalyst application like hinted at, and I only see Root->begin and Root->end ... If anyone could provide me with an insight on what I am wrong about or how to achieve what I would like, that would be really neat :)
