Craig,
Seriously, come and talk to us on irc...
http://chat.mibbit.com/#catalyst@irc.perl.org
It's much easier/faster to get answers in real-time.
Cheers,
Robsco

> What's odd is the screen updates because the hash numbers change on the debug output to the browser each time I click refresh instead of actually showing me the changed content. How is this possible? How can it be showing me an old error, with new hash references, for output that doesn't exist anymore in the application?

> On top of this, the path config for templates isn't working either, even though I've now added the two separate ->config code segments (shown above) as per the tutorial to MyApp.pm and when I put the template in the root, it falls over from what appears to me to be moaning about the line in the HTML.pm View "use base 'Catalyst::View::HTML::Template';", which was auto generated when the HTML::Template View was created with the helper script.
