Creates a new Template::View presenting a custom view of the specified 
\&\f(CW$context\fR object.

A reference to a hash array of configuration options may be passed as the 
second argument.

.IP "map" 4
.IX Item "map"
Hash array mapping reference types to template names.  The \fIprint()\fR 
method uses this to determine which template to use to present any
particular item.  The \s-1TEXT, HASH\s0 and \s-1ARRAY\s0 items default to 'test', 
\&'hash' and 'list' appropriately.
.Sp

.Ve
.IP "method" 4
.IX Item "method"
Name of a method which objects passed to \fIprint()\fR may provide for presenting
themselves to the view.  If a specific map entry can't be found for an 
object reference and it supports the method (default: 'present') then 
the method will be called, passing the view as an argument.  The object 
can then make callbacks against the view to present itself.
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    package Foo;
\&
\&    sub present {
\&        my ($self, $view) = @_;
\&        return "a regular view of a Foo\en";
\&    }
\&
\&    sub debug {
\&        my ($self, $view) = @_;
\&        return "a debug view of a Foo\en";
\&    }
.Ve
.Sp
In a template:
.Sp
.Vb 2
\&    [% USE view %]
\&    [% view.print(my_foo_object) %]     # a regular view of a Foo
\&
\&    [% USE view(method => \*(Aqdebug\*(Aq) %]
\&    [% view.print(my_foo_object) %]     # a debug view of a Foo
.Ve
.IP "default" 4
.IX Item "default"
Default template to use if no specific map entry is found for an item.
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    [% USE view(default => \*(Aqmy_object\*(Aq) %]
\&
\&    [% view.print(objref) %]            # => my_object
.Ve
.Sp
If no map entry or default is provided then the view will attempt to 
construct a template name from the object class, substituting any 
sequence of non-word characters to single underscores, e.g.
.Sp
.Vb 2
\&    # \*(Aqfubar\*(Aq is an object of class Foo::Bar
\&    [% view.print(fubar) %]             # => Foo_Bar
.Ve
.Sp
Any current prefix and suffix will be added to both the default template 
name and any name constructed from the object class.
.IP "notfound" 4
.IX Item "notfound"
Fallback template to use if any other isn't found.
.IP "item" 4
.IX Item "item"
Name of the template variable to which the \fIprint()\fR method assigns the current
item.  Defaults to 'item'.
.Sp
.Vb 5
\&    [% USE view %]
\&    [% BLOCK list %] 
\&       [% item.join(\*(Aq, \*(Aq) %] 
\&    [% END %]
\&    [% view.print(a_list) %]
\&
\&    [% USE view(item => \*(Aqthing\*(Aq) %]
\&    [% BLOCK list %] 
\&       [% thing.join(\*(Aq, \*(Aq) %] 
\&    [% END %]
\&    [% view.print(a_list) %]
.Ve
.IP "view_prefix" 4
.IX Item "view_prefix"
Prefix of methods which should be mapped to \fIview()\fR by \s-1AUTOLOAD. \s0 Defaults
to 'view_'.
.Sp
.Vb 2
\&    [% USE view %]
\&    [% view.view_header() %]                    # => view(\*(Aqheader\*(Aq)
\&

.Ve
.IP "view_naked" 4
.IX Item "view_naked"
Flag to indicate if any attempt should be made to map method names to 
template names where they don't match the view_prefix.  Defaults to 0.
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    [% USE view(view_naked => 1) %]
