Re: [Catalyst] [Beginner] Understanding actions and controllers - not!
I'm catching up on list mailings, so I'm sorry about the delay on this response. I think an important point was overlooked here...

The document you're returning to the browser contains a relative path to the CSS file: The browser looks for that relative to the location of the current page. If the URL of the current page is http://www.example.com/foo/bar, then the browser expects to find your stylesheet at http://www.example.com/foo/static/css/main.css.

But why? :-) I mean, coming from years of traditional web development it's deeply ingrained not to use absolute paths. I would never have expected to have Cat meddle with my views in such a way. Anyway, it works now, and I am progressing quite nicely. Catalyst seems more and more impressive to me.

I've tended to use: I guess it depends on how it's being hosted, but I couldn't assume the top level URL space, so a straight absolute URL seemed a risk.

[Catalyst] [Beginner] Understanding actions and controllers - not!
Hi. Somewhen over the weekend I had the impression that I em beginning to understand how actions and controllers work. I was wrong. Starting with a bare minimum project, only using the standard root controller with three standard subs: index, default, end. I created a view, then set up an 'index.tt' template, as well as a 'error404.tt' template. index.tt contains the following line (via a wrapper): In the default action sub I have $c->stash->{template} = 'error404.tt'; Using: /localhost:3000/ -> renders index.tt nicely /localhost:3000/foo -> renders error404.tt nicely /localhost:3000/foo/bar -> renders error404.tt broken, the css file is not found!
