Yes, as the default : Private actions are inheritable, and as such  
you need to make sure you use
the correct one. Think this has been debated before, atleast on IRC,  
but cannot remember what the outcome was.

basicly the third argument to default is an array with every path- 
element. So if you always want the last one, do my ($self, $c,  
@args); and pick out the last one. If you want a specific one, use  
that etc.

A log from the request would be mighty helpfull here, along with the  
table showing registered actions etc from the startup,
