[Catalyst] Why is $c undefined?

[Craig Chant]

Hi,

I seem to be unable to work out why $c is never automatically passed to any=
 of my models or methods?

I have in root.pm

# always runs first!
sub begin :Private {

    my ( $self, $c ) =3D @_;

    # Authenticate
    $self->AuthenticateUser();
    return 1;

}

I then have...

sub AuthenticateUser {

    my ( $self, $c ) =3D @_;

    $c->session;
    if(!$c->model('Members')->LogCheck($c)){
        $c->uri_for_action('/login/login');
    }

}

However, $c is undefined and errors, it only works if I pass it $c from 'be=
gin'..

    $self->AuthenticateUser($c);


I was under the impression that $c was the context (Catalyst) default varia=
ble and was always passed to every method / subroutine.

is this not the case?

Thanks,

Craig .
