aftershock has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I am looking for a place in a Catalyst application where I can add my customer plugin to the Template Toolkit.
Where can it be?
E.g. PLUGINS => { plusf => 'JEX::lookup::plusf', } Where should I put that?

    The initial project building tools created APPLICATION_NAME::View::TT. Ours became 

    package APPLICATION_NAME::View::TT;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Template::Constants;

use parent 'Catalyst::View::TT';

__PACKAGE__->config(
    INCLUDE_PATH => [
        APPLICATION_NAME->path_to( 'root', 'src' ),
        APPLICATION_NAME->path_to( 'root', 'lib' ),
        APPLICATION_NAME->path_to( 'root', 'static' ),
    ],
    PLUGIN_BASE        => 'APPLICATION_NAME::Template::Plugin',
    TEMPLATE_EXTENSION => '.tt2',
    CATALYST_VAR       => 'Catalyst',
    PRE_PROCESS        => 'config/main.tt2',
    WRAPPER            => 'site/wrapper.tt2',
    ERROR              => 'error.tt2',
    PRE_CHOMP          => Template::Constants::CHOMP_COLLAPSE,
    POST_CHOMP         => Template::Constants::CHOMP_COLLAPSE,
    TIMER              => 0,  # Only active if debugging is on.
);

        Sorry, I can't help you with this new question, at least not without significantly more info.

      By the way, that file did not work for me but
      APPLICATION_NAME::View::TTSite did. That is found in TTSite.pm
      I do not know the difference between TTSite and TT.

        It means you have your application configured to use the view "TTSite" instead of "TT".
