Re: Breaking up a CGI::Application program

CGI::Application has been discussed at length in the monastery - there are many useful nodes to be found.

You should also consult the WIKI to be found here. There is also an excellent mailing list, I can't recall who hosts it but I am sure it is detailed on the WIKI.

Richard Dice has made available his excellent extended framework which is based on CGI::Application, you can find it on CPAN at CGI::Application::Framework, it is well worth some study to see how an extensive framework can be built using CGI::A.

The CAF looks interesting (but perhaps a lot of work). I am going to look into it. Thanks!	[reply]

Yes, it IS a lot of work. You don't need to slavishly copy what Richard has done, but it will give you some clues as to what CAN be done. I am not sure if it made it into the released framework, But Richard did a PM's talk here in Toronto a couple of years ago and the system upon which the framework is based had two totally separate CGI::App's sharing a common infrastructure - one app for the outside world, and a secure one (as I recall it) for the company to use internally. Very slick! jdtoronto	[reply]
