Sort of.

the TTSite -helper- generates a Catalyst::View::TT subclass with

__PACKAGE__->config(
  ...
  CATALYST_VAR => 'Catalyst',
  ...
);

and whatever that's set to, that's what your variable's gonna be called.
Unless you don't set it at all, in which case it's called 'c'.

Personally I prefer 'ctx', so at some point somebody's probably going to
take my personal opinion as an official best practice[0] yet again and
there'll be a helper that does that as well ;)

More seriously, though - if something goes weird in a component in your
app, please read the documentation for whatever that component does a
'use base' on - it's -usually- going to be enlightening.

[0] If anybody ever finds out who coined the phrase "best practice" please
tell me so I can send them a flaming llama turd as an expression of my
love of it.
