I broke out the debugger and I think I found the cause of the 
problem (at least *a* cause if not *the* cause). I have a custom 
view that I use for creating email messages. That view is 
getting found instead of the default View::TT.

That also explains why the TT:P debug output was not being 
printed; the TT view was not being used.

So, what are my best options for fixing this? (I'd also like to 
learn more and understand why adding another controller or 
module causes a different view to be used.)

I'm guessing the best solution is to specify which view 
RenderView should be using. I have done that by adding 
"default_view => 'TT'" to MyApp->config.

__PACKAGE__->config(
     name => 'MyApp',
     default_view => 'TT',
     ....
);

I also tested by setting current_view in the end/RenderView action.

$c->stash->{current_view} = 'TT';

Is one of those a 'preferred' method for setting the default view?

Is the problem I encountered symptomatic of a bug within 
Catalyst that needs to be fixed? As a 'quick' solution can I 
suggest the Catalyst debug output show which view is being used. 
Knowing that a different view was being used would have saved me 
many hours on this.

Anyway, back to work now. Even with this loss of time I'm still 
getting this project done much faster with Catalyst than using 
my old home-made framework. It's really good kit.

Thanks,
Charlie
