Yeah, I corrected this, but the problem was with the arguments being
passed to auto()

Before I added the list() function it was seeing 'report', 'list', '15'
After I added the list() function it was only seeing '15'.

What I don't grok is why adding a new function affects the arguments
being passed to a different, already written, function.


Should I be movind to using names parameters int he URL? I just want to
run a check in auto() that boils down to "is this user allowed to view
this client?"
It's not so easy when the client-id value moves around in:

sub auto : Private {
  my ($self,$c, at other_stuff) = @_;
}
