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

[Gurunandan R. Bhat]

First, Thanks for responding.

Are you suggesting that I populate a template variable with another
HTML::Template-tagged piece and then populate that piece in postrun?  If
yes, wouldn't I have to do that in every runmode - something that I
wanted to avoid? 

Would it not be better if I called $app->param(LOGINFORM => 'Content of
Form') (as opposed to $tpl->param()) in prerun and have it set for every
runmode without doing so explicitly in each runmode? 

I am not getting it. My bad, obviously
