in reply to HTML::Mason

Paths to components are always relative to component root. If your component root is /foo/bar and your component path is /foo/bar than it corresponds to file /foo/bar/foo/bar. It seems that Mason treats this situation as error (as it is very unlickely that a component root is same as a component path) so it produces this error.

Solution: if you want to use a component paths which match filenames use component root == '/' (BTW I think it is default when you use HTML::Mason in standalone mode but I'm not sure). Or set component root to something else and use correct component paths.

    Tried that and it then complains saying it cant find the components from / as follows:- 
    could not find component for path '/lib/header.mas'

    I'm assuming that this just doesn't work out of the box as a good example.
