No.. nothing whatsoever, except for some warns i was manually printing.

Ah, that at least seems to add some more info.. Wish it was in the FAQ..
This now gives me the helpful message of:
Warning: something's wrong at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/Maypole/View/Base.pm line 74.
This line in particular turns out to be:
sub error {
my ( $self, $r ) = @_;
warn $r->{error}; # <-- line 74
which in itself isn't actually that useful :(
Still, it's something to start going on.
