This will happen if you have multiple possible chained matches.

However you have one set of chained matches, and one set of Path  
matches - so the result is pretty undefined.

I'd recommend you change your pod controller over to also use Chained,  
then I think you'll find things more likely to work as you expect.

Thanks for that suggestion, and I see where you are coming from, I changed
my pod controller as follows, but it has the same problem.

----------

sub pod : Chained('') PathPart('') CaptureArgs(0) {
    my ($self, $c) = @_;
}

sub pod_without_arg :Chained('pod') :PathPart('') :Args(0) {
    my ($self, $c) = @_;
    $c->response->body( "pod_without_arg" );
}

sub pod_with_arg :Chained('pod') :PathPart('') :Args(1) {
    my ($self, $c, $file) = @_;
    $c->response->body( "pod_with_arg - file = $file" );
}
