 From my experience with Catalyst 5.23 and 5.33 this is the expected 
behaviour.
That is, if you forward to a controller, that controller must define its 
own "process" method. What would $c->forward('My::C::Second'); mean 
otherwise (i.e. what method of the package My::C::Second should catalyst 
call) ?
