NAME
    Catalyst::View::Mason - Mason View Class

SYNOPSIS
        # use the helper
        create.pl view Mason Mason

        # lib/MyApp/View/Mason.pm
        package MyApp::View::Mason;

        use base 'Catalyst::View::Mason';

        __PACKAGE__->config->{DEBUG} = 'all';
        __PACKAGE__->config->{comp_root} = '/path/to/comp_root';
        __PACKAGE__->config->{data_dir} = '/path/to/data_dir';

        1;
    
        $c->forward('MyApp::View::Mason');

DESCRIPTION
    Want to use a Mason component in your views? No problem!
    Catalyst::View::Mason comes to the rescue.

CAVEATS
    You have to define "comp_root" and "data_dir". If "comp_root" is not
    directly defined within "config", the value comes from "config-"{root}>.
    If you don't define it at all, Mason is going to complain :) The default
    "data_dir" is "/tmp".

METHODS
   process
    Renders the component specified in $c->stash->{template} or
    $c->request->match to $c->response->output.

    Note that the component name must be absolute, or is converted to
    absolute (ie, a / is added to the beginning if it doesn't start with
    one)

    Mason global variables $base, $c and c<$name> are automatically set to
    the base, context and name of the app, respectively.

   config
    This allows your view subclass to pass additional settings to the Mason
    HTML::Mason::Interp->new constructor.
