So now the way I understand it is that Chained('.') means to setup a chain segment that has as it's parent the chain segment that matches the current controller's namespace. Apparently what I'm actually looking for is the equivalent of Chained('/') PathPart('.'), meaning I want to build chains that originate in the current namespace.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>What I'm actually trying to accomplish is something like this:</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>package MyApp::CRUDController;</DIV><DIV>use strict;</DIV><DIV>use warnings;</DIV><DIV>use base 'Catalyst::Controller';</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV># sub base : Chained(???)
