I have added this line and it removes one blank line from the out put
unfortunately there were two lines so it is still causing problems. I
have checked my templates to make sure they don't have any leading white
space, which they don't (they currently are very simple 7 lines long).
So I can only assume that it is Catalyst that is adding the lines. Is it
possible that Catalyst::Response is adding the extra lines when
returning to the browser?
