Have recently been porting an existing Catalyst site to run under Centos
6 (using the current CPAN version of Catalyst). The site would not start
and gave the following error message:

Can't locate
Catalyst/Action/Catalyst/Controller/RequestToken/Action/CreateToken.pm
in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/src/ipacs/script/../lib
/opt/invicro/lib/perl5/5.10.1/x86_64-linux /opt/invicro/lib/perl5/5.10.1
/opt/invicro/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/x86_64-linux
/opt/invicro/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 .) at
/opt/invicro/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/Catalyst.pm line 2485.

It should be trying to include
Catalyst/Controller/RequestToken/Action/CreateToken.pm but
Catalyst/Action/ has been tacked on the front of the path.

The method calls generating the problem looked something like this:

sub index : Path : CreateToken {

After lengthy investigation I discovered that the problem was in the
Catalyst::Controller module around line 422.

while (my ($new_key, $value) = each %new_attrs){
my $new_attrs = $key eq $new_key ?
{ $new_key => [$value] } :
$self->_parse_attr($c, $name, $new_key => $value );
push @{ $final_attributes{$_} }, @{ $new_attrs->{$_} } for keys %$new_attrs;
}


$new_key (as return by the _parse_CreateToken_attr method of Catalyst/Controller/RequestToken.pm) is ActionClass
while $key is CreateToken so $self->_parse_attr is called again which adds the unwanted Catalyst/Action to the front of the
class name. This generates the error above.

I fixed the problem temporarily by merely skipping the equality test when the attribute contained 'Token'. This made
the site work again but this is truely inelegant.

Is this a known problem with a fix or can anyone guide me to a better way of fixing it?

Thanks
Edwin
