Why are you importing any of this stuff?

You should let Catalyst take care of loading the engine etc itself.

Don't put actions in the root application class! It should work  
currently, but it's not been generated by the helper for > 3 years,  
and it'll stop working in an upcoming major release!

Please start with the template generated by catalyst.pl, which will  
give you an app::Controller::Root.

Although I'd suggest 'app' isn't the best namespace for your  
application :)
