Hello Monks,

I am having a problem getting an authentication script to work RFC: Proposed tutorial - simple login script using CGI::Application.  I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

I believe that I am having a problem with the my $self = shift. Because it seems as if the script cannot find it's path.  None of the templates can seem to find the parameters because the links don't work (only the tag names appear). The HTMLs appear (with bad links) but  /simple.pl  goes to a 500 Internal Server Error page. 

I changed the script from  use lib '/var/www/cgi-bin/WebApp/libs' to  $ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/.  I also comment out lines 156-159 (as suggested) for the SSL. Otherwise everything in the script is the same.
