[Catalyst] [Beginner] C::V::Email::Template does not render

[Ekki Plicht (DF4OR)]

Hi.

Following the example in THE BOOK (cookbook part) I try to get my user 
registration process to work. I use C::V::Email::Template, and all seems to 
work fine, according to the debug output [1], see below.

The mail does get sent, but it is not rendered proprly. The very simple mail 
template looks like this:

	[% c.localize('mm_reghello') %]
	[% c.localize('mm_regsent') %]
	[% c.uri_for('/user/registration') %]/[% c.digest %]
	[% c.localize('mm_regfinal') %]
	[% PROCESS mailsig.tt %]

What I receive as mail is:
	mm_reghello
	mm_regsent
	http://localhost:3000/user/registration/
	mm_regfinal
	--
	The mail signature as intended.

I.e. the localization does not work (it does fine on the web templates) and 
the digest code is missing after the URI. The placeholders 'mm_*' are all 
defined and available in various .po files. Other stash variables, which I put 
into the mail template for testing pruposes, are also missing in the rendered 
output.

My registration action looks like this:
sub register :Local {
    my ( $self, $c ) = @_;

    if ( exists($c->req->params->{'email'}) ) {
        my $newuser;
        eval {
            $newuser= $c->model('WSDB::register')->create({
                email => $c->req->params->{'email'}
            })
        };

        if ($@) {
            $c->log->debug( "Email::Valid failed" );
            $c->stash( errors => { email => 'ee_invalid' }, err => $@ );
            return; # redraw
        }
        else {
            # Mail ok, send mail
            $c->stash->{digest}   = $newuser->get_column('digest');
            $c->stash->{mailto}   = $c->req->params->{'email'};
            $c->stash->{mailsubj} = 'mm_registersubject';
            $c->stash->{mailtemplate} = 'registermail.tt';
            $c->forward( '/email' );
            return $c->res->redirect( $c->uri_for('/user/registerdone') );
        }
    }
}


I.e. the successful (mail is valid) register request is answered with a 
forward to sending the mail, then the user/registerdone action is kicking in. 
That all works, but as I said, the mail is not rendered correctly.

The /email action is in the root controller like this:
sub email : Private {
    my ( $self, $c ) = @_;

    $c->stash->{email} = {
        to       => $c->stash->{mailto},
        from     => $c->config->{mailfrom},
        subject  => $c->stash->{mailsubj},
        template => $c->stash->{mailtemplate}
    };
    $c->forward( $c->view('Email::Template') );
}


Probably this could all be done better, but I followed the cookbook example so 
far.

What am I missing? Thanks for any hints where I can continue looking.


Cheers,
Ekki
