I would say leave CGI::Application alone until you improve your understanding of OO programming. What tutorials have you tried?

Have you looked at

Obviously, don't just read. Write code and experiment, that's the best way to learn. OOP isn't that hard, and is well worth learning.

Update: BTW, the approach you are already using is very sensible. Here is one way to break out the run-modes (untested):

use strict; use CGI; # or CGI::Simple my %dispatch = ( runmode1 => 'My::Package1', runmode2 => 'My::Package2', runmode3 => 'My::Package3', ); my $rm = $q->param('rm'); eval "require $dispatch{$rm}" or die "runmode handler not found"; $dispatch{$rm}->handler($q);
In each package create a sub called handler that looks like:
sub handler { shift; # ignore 1st arg (package name) my $q = shift; ... # do what ever runmode requires # return html output }

May the force be with you :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
