Thanks Jay. I thought of that solution too when I had a look at Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple. But in this case, my doubt was, and is, how should I create the view through the helper? Most of the examples for creating views are TT views, so they create it as 'script/hello_create.pl view my_TT_view TT'. David
