Catalyst::View::TT::ControllerLocal is like a normal Catalyst TT View, but with template file names relative to the current Controller. So with a set of templates like: ./root/edit.html ./root/add.html ./root/Frobniz/add.html and an action "add" in the Controller "MyApp::Controller::Frobniz", you set "$c->stash->{template}" to "add.html" in order for it to pick up the "./root/frobbiz/add.html" template. Setting the "$c->stash->{template}" from Controller "MyApp::Con- troller::Bogon" would instead pick the default template in "./root/add.html" (since there is no Bogon subdirectory under root). In addition, since there is no file "edit.html" except in the Frobniz directory, C::V::TT::ControllerLocal will default to looking for "edit.html" in ./root/ and ./root/base (or whatever you set MyApp->con- fig->{INCLUDE_PATH} to).
