[Catalyst] Menu navigation implementation

[Jennifer Ahn]

hi everybody!

I'm trying to implement a menu on a left navigation column in my web 
application and i would like to know how others have approach a similar 
topic.

My controller object contains the menu items.  How would my layout 
template, which is part of a wrapper, access this array of menu items?  
My controller class has many methods and I wouldn't want each method to 
have to keep a stash of the menu items. 

Thanks !

Jennifer
