[Catalyst] Catalyst 'forward' function doesn't return any value

[Mark Keating]

Check that your development environment matches the server environment, 
including Perl version/location (such as using local::lib etc.) - also 
make sure they are using the same versions of the application and then 
do a matched upgrade to see if there are any incompatibilities.

You can always use Perlbrew to have multiple Perl environments for testing.

Looked at SO and your code seemed fine which makes me think this is an 
env. issue and not a code issue, but without a running example that 
fails we can't say.
