I'm not sure about accessing variables inside your layout that you
have created inside of a template in your views folder.  But you can
access variables that you pass from your route:

If you had the following route:
  get '/foo' => sub {  template foo => { user => 'bob' } };

Then in your layout, you would be able to access the variable user
just like you can inside of a template.  So in views/layout/main.tt
you can have:
  hello [% user %]
