[Catalyst] Why is $c undefined?

[Craig Chant]

Cool, thanks.

Reading the tutorial I got the impression $c was always passed.

Thanks for clearing that up, which is why I guess $c->dbh doesn't exist.

hmm, much for me to get my head round for sure!

Regards,

Craig.

There's no black-magic going on, so your AuthenticateUser() sub never
"magically" gets $c.

In short, you'll only get $c when using the method attributes, such as
:Private, :Chained, etc.
