Apache::Dispatch, which is a good idea. However it is fairly easy to achieve in the code. The main advantage is that all the magic happens in the code and not in the httpd.conf file. This is good as it makes installation easier and you can kick in a whole load of error catching mechanisms.
package Handler;
use strict;
use warnings;
my %handlers = ( '/' => 'Handler::Index',
'/logout' => 'Handler::Logout',
'/details' => 'Handler::Details',
);
sub handler ($$) {
my $self = shift;
my $r = shift;
$self = $self->new( r => $r ) unless ref $self;
my $uri = $r->uri;
# User auth etc. can happen here.
if ( my $handler = $handlers{ $uri } ) {
eval "require $handler" || die "Error with $handler";
return $handler->handler( $r );
}
# If not on list then it was not found.
return NOT_FOUND;
}
