Just like the example above.

In my mind the wrapper is a view issue, so I set the wrapper in the template
not in the controller.  I have a wrapper that is called for *every* page
that is used to build the page.

META is compile time, IIRC, so I use [% page.layout =3D 'foo' %] then in
wrapper.tt I have a CASE statement that
sets the wrappers based on page.layout set in the base template.

IIRC, I use page.layout (instead of say just "layout") because WRAPPER does
a shallow localization of the stash.
