Gracious monks ...

I use Template::Toolkit and make great use of the INCLUDE dirctive. My designer has asked me to wrap each component with a comment so he can see how the end pages have been constructed.

I can give him a wrapper for each component like this:

somecomponent.tt:

<!-- BEGIN $component.name ($component.modtime) -->

the content of the template

<!-- END $component.name -->

Of course, I can use WRAPPER and pass these variables through to the commenting wrapper, but that is more text and still requires and END a the end of the template.

In an ideal world, I'd have a flag in my config to turn this on and off, which is easy, but is there a way I can may TT wrap all my components automagically?
