Well, that's probably the actual package name of that lightweight
class.

Here's what I did for a client recently.  In App.pm, I added

    sub title {
      my $self = shift;

      local $_ = $self->shortname;
      tr/_/ /;
      s/\b([a-z])/\U$1/g;
      return "Initech Corporation Conference Registration: $_";
    }

And in my WRAPPER.tt, I have:

    [% self.CGI.start_html("-title", self.title) %]

This defines the default titlebar related to the state name.
And yet, any specific state can provide

        sub title { "Acquiring Remote Latinum" }

to override that.

"This (and other) tips will be found in the forthcoming
CGI::Prototype::Cookbook, coming soon to a CPAN near you.  Offer void
where prohibited."
