Dear monks,

has anyone ever dealt with the following problem?

We have quite a few DBIC "business" classes installed in different environments - webserver, application server, ...

In some of these environments (webserver) we would like to strip the classes of the code which is never called in the environment.

The reason is security, we don't want application logic to be exposed on webserver.

My first (and so far the only) idea is to add some type of smart comments into the modules and preprocess them when they are installed. Since we use Module::Build subclass for the installation, this approach is usable although a bit cumbersome.

package MyApp::Schema::Request;
....

#%% if IN_APP_SERVER then
use MyApp::SOAPClient::SAP;
#%% end if

#%% if IN_APP_SERVER then
sub send_to_sap {
}

sub workflow { 
    ...
}
#%% end if

Does anyone know a better solution or the whole idea is somehow distorted?
