Hm, strange. That sounds very appealing but did not seem to work for me.
In my case I found that  (after moving theconfig from MyApp.pm to
View/PDF/Reuse.pm) :
package MyApp::View::PDF::Reuse;

use strict;
use base 'Catalyst::View::PDF::Reuse';

# Configure PDF generator view
__PACKAGE__->config(
    INCLUDE_PATH => [
#       MyApp->path_to('root','src'),
        MyApp->path_to('root','src','books'),
        ],
    render_die => 1,
    );

works with the 'books' line but not without it. <?>

However. I did get some PDF eventually! It turned out that the problem
was : I was using [% pdf.prFile ... %] at the start of the template.
Presumably the C:V:P:R code includes one of those itself and I was
causing that one to be closed.
So I have now said Hello to the world ;-)
