[Catalyst] issue with Path method not catching '.html' portion

[Edric]

i speicfy 'test.html' in the parameter for Path. i expect it to match  the url ending with 'test.html'... i read the documentation over and  over and it's supposed to match a literal... hopefully a string that  will take a period?

  why does it not work correctly when i specify my document root in my  apache virtual host config file, but it works fine when specifiying  document root in  my main app class, like what is shown here  below? i'm not surre if it's my function that is the problem.
  
  __PACKAGE__->config( 
           root => '/usr/local/www/media'
   );
  
  and now i think this proves that

Then Template Toolkit can't find test.html in root/ - maybe you want to set 
$c->stash->{template} inside your action sub?

Because that doesn't match and action so will fall through to the nearest default.

Path is behaving ezactly as expected; I'm not entirely sure what you're trying 
to achieve but I don't think what you're asking Catalyst to do is the same 
thing :)
