the normal view action first to get the objects, then handle the output
differently.
-=head3 Using TT templates
-
-This is the aproach used in Agave (L<http://dev.rawmode.org/>).
-
- sub rss : Local {
- my ($self,$c) = @_;
- $c->forward('view');
- $c->stash->{template}='rss.tt';
- }
-
-Then you need a template. Here's the one from Agave:
-
- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
- <rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
- <channel>
- <title>[ [% blog.name || c.config.name || "Agave" %] ] RSS Feed</title>
- <link>[% base %]</link>
- <description>Recent posts</description>
- <language>en-us</language>
- <ttl>40</ttl>
- [% WHILE (post = posts.next) %]
- <item>
- <title>[% post.title %]</title>
- <description>[% post.formatted_teaser|html%]</description>
- <pubDate>[% post.pub_date %]</pubDate>
- <guid>[% post.full_uri %]</guid>
- <link>[% post.full_uri %]</link>

- [% END %]

=head4 Shared memory for multiple apps
It is not possible to run two different versions of the same application in
the same Apache instance because the namespaces will collide.

+
+If you have two different applications which run on the same machine,

Now that we have that out of the way, let's talk about setting up mod_perl
