[cgiapp] Adding a div of fixed content to evey page. Possible?

[Brad Van Sickle]

 You can initialize and populate your template in postrun as well.

The way I do it is I typically load the framework of the page using 
HTML::Template in postrun, and then insert the output of my runmode into 
the template where required.

If your runmode output is complex enough to require being templated 
itself, there isn't anything stopping you from using HTML::Template 
within the runmode to format the output and then inserting the output of 
that template into the overall template in postrun.

You can even move postrun up into a superclass to centralize all of this 
content and keep a coherent look on your site.

At least that's the easiest and most flexible solution I found when I 
was faced with a similar problem...
