Because I never got round to delving into Catalyst::Stats or 
Tree::Simple inner workings. I copy/pasted the example from 
http://www.onemogin.com/blog/559-adding-action-timings-to-your-output.html 
into my Root::end() method and it just worked.

At least it did until I removed the -Debug flag. And then tried to 
recover functionality by updating Catalyst::Stats to the latest version, 
which also updated Catalyst itself (I was using an earlier 5.70x). So 
I've no idea in which module(s) the change occurred to stop the process 
working. Maybe someone more familiar with these modules could offer a clue?
