DESCRIPTION
    This is a "XSLT" view class for Catalyst. Your application should
    defined a view class which is a subclass of this module. The easiest way
    to achieve this is using the myapp_create.pl script (where myapp should
    be replaced with whatever your application is called). This script is
    created as part of the Catalyst setup.

METHODS
    new The constructor for the XSLT view. Reads the application config.

    render
        Renders the template specified via $template. The template
        parameters are set to %$args if $args is a hashref, or "$c->stash"
        otherwise.

    process
        Renders the template specified in "$c->stash->{template}" or
        "$c->action". Calls "render" to perform actual rendering. Template
        params are set up from the contents of "$c->stash". Output is stored
        in "$c->response->body".

NOTE
    This version works only with XML::LibXSLT.
