Fellow monks, I'm starting with Catalyst and I'm confused at the moment about how catalyst handles my request.

Basically I ran:

    catalyst.pl Greet;
    cd Greet
    scripts/greet_create.pl view TT TT
    scripts/greet_create.pl controller Greeting
    echo "[% greeting %]" > root/greeting.tt

And edited 'lib/Greet/C/Greeting.pm' so it looks like this:

    sub default : Private {
        my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
        $c->forward('say');
    }

    sub say : Local {
        my ( $self, $c ) = @_;

        $c->stash->{greeting} = join q{, }, @{ $c->req->args() };
        $c->stash->{template} = q{greeting.tt};
        $c->forward('Greet::V::TT');
    }

Now running a couple of scenarios, I get:

    1. scripts/greet_test.pl / 
       -> Congratulations, Greet is on Catalyst!
    2. scripts/greet_test.pl /greeting/say/hello/world
       -> hello, world
    3. scripts/greet_test.pl /greeting/hello/world
       -> greeting, hello, world
    4. scripts/greet_test.pl /hi/there/greeting/say/hello/world
       -> hi, there, greeting, say, hello, world

Now, scenario 1 is as expected. I didn't change the main file and it presents the default blurb.

Scenario 2 is also as expected, I run the controller with the say request and it answers me back with the arguments.

But what about scene 3? Why didn't that strip the namespace from the arguments? And I'm really confused about scene 4. I would have expected that to print the same as 1.

Can someone explain this behaviour to me?
