That's why I added this "don't do anything if finalize_headers() has 
already been executed behaviour".

And what I'm telling since the first message in this thread is, that I 
have View classes, that $c->write() instead of $c->response->body().

Bingo! I wasn't aware of this "current_view" variable.

So instead of $c->forward('MyApp::View::DBIC::CSV') I now say
$c->stash(current_view => 'MyApp::View::DBIC::CSV') and can go with the 
current Catalyst::Action::RenderView.

Thank you very much.
