[Catalyst] Access Catalyst context object from script

[Rob Brown]

Your script is not running under Catalyst, so $c, or the Catalyst 
context, is not available.

$c manages HTTP requests and responses.

It sounds like your approach/design may be slightly flawed.  Perhaps 
explain what you're trying to achieve - what are you doing with these 
templates?  where are they going?  why do they have URLs to your 
Catalyst app in them?

Cheers,
Robsco
