[Catalyst] Problem with 'login' method in tutorial

[Peter Traub]

Hi Ash,

Thanks for the reply. I should've mentioned that the top of my app (
tutorial.pm) follows the tutorial directions to the letter, and thus has:

use Catalyst qw/-Debug Static::Simple Authentication
             Authentication::Store::Minimal
             Authentication::Credential::Password
             Session Session::Store::File Session::State::Cookie/;

All those modules have been installed with CPAN. It should just complain if
it can't find any of those modules whenever the app is called, right? But it
doesn't (which implies that it sees them doesn't it?), it only complains
about the 'login' method call. Thanks.

Peter
