Thanks, I had just figured that out.  Which leads to another question or two.

1)  Catalyst::Manual::Cookbook uses this snippet:
  sub 'login' : Local {
but when I use a single-quoted 'login' as a subroutine name in my
version of Perl (v5.8.6 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int), I get an
error about an illegal declaration of a subroutine.  Is this something
that should be working for me?

2)  Catalyst::Manual::Cookbook doesn't really say where the login sub
should be placed, but the only location that gets mentioned anywhere
is the MyApp package.  I'm going to presume that a sub named 'login'
will magically work if I drop it into a different package, presumably
a Controller package.  OTOH, I got it to work in the main package by
coding this:
  sub my_login : Path('/login') {
Could/would someone update the cookbook to discuss these points?

Thanks!
