[Catalyst] Using $c->view('TT')->render for emails

[Mark Zealey]

I'd just create a separate TT view instance eg i call my website 
view 'C::V::Website' and my email view 'C::V::Email' and then just parse it 
through that - means you can have different dirs /root/website 
and /root/email with different variables - the email and website views are 
generally very different so best have them as different objects, even if the 
same base class.
