Serving a static document

Hello,

I'm quite new to Catalyst so apologies if this is a naive question. I'm trying to create a KML document within catalyst and then redirect the server to that document. The problem I'm having is that Catalyst seems to be interpreting the URL of the document (e.g. http://localhost:3000/root/src/test.kml) as a call to a script which it doesn't recognise and so it reverts to the default page. How do I override this behaviour?

Thanks,

Matt.

Something like this (untested):

sub thing :Path('test.kml') {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
$c->serve_static_file('relative/path/from/app/root/to/test.kml');
}

or similar. Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple does the dirty work for
you.

Thanks, I didn't know about Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple but that looks like just what I am after.
