Quite often I create non action methods in my controllers to centralize 
functions that don't need to be an action.  Stuff like building up a 
HTML::Widget form, etc.  Usually in the controller I call it with 
$self->local_method(...) and so forth.

Now in the TT view you have the stash and the context but I find no easy way to 
access the $self->xxx stuff. I know it can be considered bad form to have too 
much interaction between your template and your logic, but I do have uses for 
this.  Usually I just do something like $c->stash->{self} = \$self;  whereever 
I need it but this get's awefully redundant and makes my FRY ruby friends 
snicker at me.

Has anyone run into this issue and discovered a better solution?  I thought 
about putting something in a custom end action as a solution but maybe someone 
out there came up with something better (and can share it for posterity :) ).
