action whose name started with underscore

Hello,

I defined some actions in controller for inner forwarding purpose.
To make the purpose clearly, I named them starting an underscore.

----------
package MyApp::Controller::Root;

sub foo : Local {
# blahblahblah
$c->forward('_bar');
}

sub _bar : Private { #blahblahblah }
----------

in this way, I can't trace the forwarding in debug mode witch supposed
to be something like

----------
| /foo
| -> /_bar <- this line doesn't exists
----------

Actually, the forwarding works as expected inside.
Is it a implicit rule, or does an action starting with underscore mean
something special?

Thanks.

Have you tried the same thing without the underscore but with :Private?

You explicitly made those actions private, so they didn't get shown.

http://search.cpan.org/~bobtfish/Catalyst-Runtime-5.90006/lib/Catalyst.pm#INTERNAL_ACTIONS

But generally, if it needs to be _that_ private - why make it an
action at all?

Why not just call $self->_private_method($c); ?

Cheers

Erez,

Yes, I tried. And it is shown.

t0m,

Got it. Thank you very much.
