On a single category page, how do I display only the items within that category?

I've watched the Portfolio with Categories video and I'd like to achieve the same functionality, but with perch_collection instead of perch_content_custom

How would I make the perch_collection part dynamic?

I've only used 'category'=>'name-of-set-here/retail'` to see if I can get it working - I'd like this part to be dynamic.

       if (perch_get('cat')) {
      perch_category('/name-of-set-here/'.perch_get('cat'),array(
      'template'=>'category_single.html',
       ));

      perch_collection('Projects', array(
      'category'=>'name-of-set-here/retail', // How do I make this dynamic?
      ));

      } else {
      perch_categories();
      }

I thought if replaced 'category'=>'name-of-set-here/retail' with

  'category'=> '/name-of-set-here/' . perch_get('cat'),

It'd work, but it doesn't. I'd like to dynamically display items within the current category.

Sorted it:

 'category'=> array('name-of-set-here/' . perch_get('cat')),

Here's the full code, hope it helps someone out:

if (perch_get('cat')) {
  perch_category('/name-of-set-here/'.perch_get('cat'),array(
    'template'=>'category_single.html',

     ));

  perch_collection('Projects', array(
  'category'=> array('name-of-set-here/' . perch_get('cat')),
    ));

    } else {
 perch_categories();

}
