Are you sure you're using CGI::Application? Eliminating twisty if/else logic like this is exactly what CGI::App was built to avoid!

But back to the issue at hand - are you sure you're editing the right script and the right place in it? Try putting a die() in the code path you think is running. Does the app die? If it doesn't, are you running in Apache::Registry or as a mod_perl handler? You might need to restart the server.

Ultimately you may need to use the debugger if you can't guess enough to put confessional prints in the right place. Give that a try if you're out of ideas - sometimes there's no substitute for seeing what your code is really doing.
