Use Mojolicious::Renderer path attribute to manage your target template directories. The second question I don't know, you'd need to look at the code of the module to figure out how to do this.

Thanks, but I am already able to set absolute paths OK even without that attribute. The problem is specifying paths relative to the document root.

How can I refer to the document root dynamically inside Mojolicious?

Mojolicious offers Helpers of Mojolicious::Guides::Tutorial which are functions which you setup during startup. I am not sure if this is a good way, but I would do something like:

use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious';
# This method will run once at server start
sub startup {
  my $self = $_[0];
  $self->app->config(
     hypnotoad => {
      listen => ['http://'.$SERVER_ADDRESS.':'.$SERVER_PORT]
      }
  );
  my $DOCUMENT_ROOT = '...';
  $self->helper(document_root => sub { $DOCUMENT_ROOT });
  # I also add a logger object
  my $logger = Mojo::Log->new;
  $self->helper(applog => sub { $logger });
  ...
}
[download]

And at any route endpoint (in its own separate file):

use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious::Controller';
sub logout {
  my $c = $_[0];
  my $log = $c->applog;
  my $dr = $c->document_root;
  ...
  $c->render(...)
  return 1;
}

There is also Mojolicious::Plugin::DefaultHelpers with some helpers before reinventing the wheel

FWIW, the template system I use is Text::Xslate via MojoX::Renderer::Xslate. It's surely idiosyncratic and the language associated with it is aptly named Kolon! I *think* I heard choroba saying that it was quite fast when I was looking around. And I use it for 3 years now, quite happy and with colon painless.
