I'd really recommend just creating a sample application you can mess
with, like 'catalyst.pl Foo' -- I do this frequently when testing new
things.

Then just script/foo_create.pl view StaticFile would create a skeleton view.

When you supply additional arguments (the "TT") then you are looking
at basing your view off the helper, which is sourced from
Catalyst::View::Helper::TT.  It's fully optional, and omitting that
will just create a very basic package.

Of course you don't have to use any of this, you can just edit
"lib/MyApp/View/MyView.pm" directly and code it up -- it's just a
simple perl package (like what I wrote out above).
