I have modified FilterProxy.pl to export $FilterProxy::HOME, which is the
variable you want.

I've updated CVS with my latest code.  (Turns out I hadn't committed some
recent changes)  I've also added your code.  I've modified it to use
$FilterProxy::HOME to get its files in $FilterProxy::HOME /xsl.  And I've
translated the html file you provided so that it works with HTML::Mason.
For further work on this you should check out the latest cvs and install
HTML::Mason.  ;)

The html file you provided doesn't seem to allow me to add or edit any conf=
ig.
I think it is dependent on the parameter $ENV{SITECONFIG}->{'stylesheet'},
which won't be there if you've just added a site.  Also you should remove t=
he
stuff about dumping headers to a file.  ;)

I hope I haven't messed it up in translating your html file.  :(
