[Catalyst] Re: Catalyst, Firefox and SVG

Thanks for all your suggestions regarding displaying SVG content via
Catalyst in Firefox v1.5

I now have it working but I am not sure why!
I re-installed perl (Activestate 5.8.7 build 815) because when I upgraded
some modules via CPAN it caused an error in Catalyst at the line:
use List::More::Util;

Whatever the cause was, the following file formats now work:

Template File: svg.tt

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
          "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en" />
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>SVG Test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h3>[% heading %]</h3>
    <embed  src="src/temp/circle.svg"  width="400" height="600" 
     type="image/svg+xml" />
    <p><a href="http://localhost:3000"><b>Home</b></a></p>
  </body>
</html>

The SVG file: circle.svg
