That used to bug me until I started using CGI::Prototype::Hidden,
where the WRAPPER template takes care of this adequately. The
variables are all shared between the main template and the
wrapper, which includes `self`, so you just can do something like

    Content-type: [% self.content_type %]

at the top of the wrapper and have a `content_type` method which
sets the default in your application class, and then change it
for pages which deliver a different type of content.

I found responsibilities are actually separated more cleanly this
way.
