Allowing views to be an arrayref of strings is likely to cause issues 
with other template engines.

TT2 allows you to supply coderefs as part of its INCLUDE_PATH configuration.
(See Template::Manual::Config for the details). Configuring the template 
engine within
your app may allow you to do what you want: eg ( warning - untested 
config!! )

   set engines => {
     template => {
       template_toolkit =>
         INCLUDE_PATH => [ sub {
            # code that returns absolute paths to your view dirs
            map { path( app->location, $_) }
                'views', app->request->var('other_views');
         }],
         ...
     }
   };
   set template => 'template_toolkit';


Hope that helps,
