Fixed sample code in cgiapp_postrun, a new CGI::Application routine

Hello Monks,

I just posted an issue on cpan for CGI::Application which may save somebody some head-banging.

Version 3.1 now has a hook called cgiapp_postrun which is an output filter. However, the sample code in the pod doesn't work at least not in perl 5.8/redhat 9 (v.5.8.0 for i386-linux-thread-multi with patch MAINT18379, says perl -V).

Old Line: $output_ref = \$new_output; # Bad
New Line: $$output_ref = $new_output; # Works for me

Aside from this I recommend it! Now building something with CGI::Application, HTML::Template, Mysql and Class::DBI and already it is feeling nice and clean. Definitely the new mysqlcc gui app is pretty nice too.

Enjoy Summer!
Matt R.

FYI, it's also been mentioned on the cgiapp list. Jesse said he'll fix it in the next release. -- "To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer." --Paul Ehrlich	[reply]
