Thanks, Perrin, that's exactly what I did this morning.  It involved
subclassing Template::Provider to rewrite part of _fetch_path() and
then making sure Catalyst::View::TT was using the new Provider.  I
found a partial solution on the TT list, but it only worked after the
template was hit twice and didn't seem to clean up the doubly linked
list properly.
