Hello, J,

  Good evening. Yes, you're very right and I have been referring to
documentation on search.cpan.org especially the catalyst tutes, J
Rockway's book and Catalyst::Request documentation.


Yes, reading the Catalyst::Request documentation, I was aware that
$c->request->params was a combination of both query and body parameters.
Are you able to provide us with a good example of the usefulness of
getting parameters from both query and body? I thought it would be
neater to take the parameters from either one source only (not both ). 

 Can you please recommend some documentation 
related to HTTP and the difference between Query Parameters and Body
Parameters?
I googled with 'HTTP and the difference between Query Parameters and
Body Parameters.' but didn't get
anything interesting.

Yes, I made the change here and problem solved. I understand what you
and  Sebastian Willert mean now.
I made sure that my form had an action of
'http://lginsurance.com.au/subscriptions/edit' (without "?id=3389") and
it works beautifully. It now knows that it has to call my controller,
sub edit which accepts requests of path, '/subscriptions/edit'.

Thank you for your time, J!
