Note, you don't pass $c to AuthenticateUser here!


    return 1;

}

I then have...

sub AuthenticateUser {

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

    $c->session;
    if(!$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 
'begin'..

    $self->AuthenticateUser($c);


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

is this not the case?

Right, that's not the case. It only passes to the :Chained or :Args or 
:CaptureArgs methods. This leaves you free to create your own internal methods 
that don't get extra $c args interfering with your logic.
