Erm, why are you not just sending your already rendered "standard" XML file?
I.e. what is the point in using XML::Simple at all here - why not just set the
body?

Erm, what do you mean by 'XML handler' here?
XML::Simple will serialise whatever data structure you give it (as per any of
the other serialisation methods!).. So just give it a different data structure
in the different cases?
Alternatively - if you really want to _totally_ override it, just set the
response body manually, and the Controller::REST end action will leave it
alone..
