[Catalyst] subrequest question using a Mason view

[Joe Landman]

Hi folks:

   I have a Mason view that I want to pull a subrequest into (e.g. have 
Mason pull down some XML to generate a form from).  So I did an

% $text	= $c->subreq("/xml/user.xml");

before handing the xml to XML::Smart.  The problem is that the 
$c->subreq doesn't seem to work in Mason.  I see some (rather hackish) 
workarounds for it, but I am wondering if this was implemented only in 
TT or if Mason masks this part of the API from us.

The error I am getting is:

Couldn't render component "/admin/user.html" - error was "Can't locate 
object method "subreq" via package "SICP" at 
/opt/sice/2.0/sites/SICP/html/components/user.mason line 16. Stack: 
[/opt/sice/2.0/sites/SICP/html/components/user.mason:16] 
[/opt/sice/2.0/sites/SICP/html/admin/user.html:36]"

Lines 16 and 17 of user.mason looks like this

% $text = $c->subreq($c->uri_for("/xml/user.xml"));
% $xml	= XML::Smart->new($text);

and line 36 of user.html looks like this

<& /components/user.mason, 	mode	=> $mode	&>

Does subreq work (and this is just pilot error on my part) under Mason?
