[Catalyst] Still Confused

[Chisel Wright]

I'm working with v5 at the moment, primarily because that's what the
mojomojo app I was pointed at seems to use [based on use of subs with
attributes].

I've managed to confuse myself again, I've done the following:

 catalyst.pl Magic
 cd Magic
 ./script/create.pl controller Trick

I've tweaked lib/Magic.pm to:

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

  sub trick : Private {
    my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
	$c->res->output(__PACKAGE__ . ' : trick');
  }

Then I tried:

  ./script/test.pl
  [snippage]
  .=-----------------------
  | Action                 
  |=-----------------------
  | -> /trick              
  | /default               
  '=-----------------------

  Magic : trick


followed by

  ./script/test.pl /trick
  [snippage]
  .=-----------------------
  | Action                 
  |=-----------------------
  | /trick/default         
  '=-----------------------

Congratulations, Magic::C::Trick is on Catalyst!


This is where my fundamental misunderstanding of everything starts to
become apparent ...

What should I do to be forwarded to Magic::C::Trick when I visit, well
anything that's not a /trick URI already.

I would have expected forward('trick') to use the lib/Magic.pm->trick()
function, and forward('/trick') to be treated the same way as
./script/test.pl /trick


I've tried to work this out, but for some reason I just can't get the
right incantations through my keyboard at the moment.
