I am working on a script which the user calls a route called /add_news but that route should be able to call itself with a query parameter. This is the smallest amount of code I can come up with to do what I want but it fails every time. The Mojolicious documentation is not clear enough for me to understand what I need to do.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Mojolicious::Lite;
get '/add_news' => sub {
my $self = shift;
my $offset = $self->param('offset') // 0;
if ( $offset > 9 ) {
$self->render(text => "offset = $offset\n");
} else {
$self->redirect_to('/add_news?offset=10');
}
};
app->start;
When the code runs with and the offset is greater than 10 I see the rendered text but once I use an offset less than 10 I get a 302 error. I understand it is redirecting but when I look at the output the URL looks correct.

I am using the following curl commands.
curl http://127.0.0.1:3000/add_news?offset=10
and
curl http://127.0.0.1:3000/add_news?offset=2
How can I make the route call itself?
