[Catalyst] Usage of $c->uri_for and $c->res->redirect

[Dustin Suchter]

So I like the idea of the plugin, but I'm having a hard time 
installing it. I found one hit on the Internet that with a report of 
someone else having the exact same problem as me, but I don't see 
the solution online:

http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/09/msg631733.html

Any ideas?
