If you need $c then this sounds more like a general controller method to
me. What about doing

package MyApp::C::Foo;

use base qw/Catalyst::Controller::Foo/;

and then calling methods with $c via

$c->forward('/foo/methodname');

or if you don't want to mark exposed stuff :Private -

$c->forward('Foo', 'methodname');
