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.
