Not true. See below.

I use Dancer with Xslate templates for my blog:
https://github.com/mfontani/Brocco

config.yml change needed (a hack really):

engines:
  xslate:
    cache_dir: "/tmp/wherever"
    cache: 1
    path:
      - /
      - ./views

The "path" is the important bit:
- needs / so that the files that are given by full path can work
- needs views/ since the main layout path is given relative to that

Hope you can now enjoy Xslate and Dancer both :)
