[Catalyst] Quesion about Chaining usage

[John Napiorkowski]

Okay, more info!

I attached a text file which is what I see when
catalyst starts up.  It has the action paths, etc. 
Also I appended to that what I get when I actually try
to run it.  I also attached the actual controller
module that I wrote that is making all this happen,
just in case eyeballing that is useful.

The thing that is weird is that if I just take out all
the PathParts and let the Chain revert to the default
PathPart name it all just works fine, although I don't
get the URLs I want.

Let me know what you think.  I know Chaining is quite
new to Catalyst so maybe best practices are still
emerging.  Personally I really think it's one of the
things that is great about Catalyst, makes it really
appeal to the code idealist in me :)
