Re: CGI::Application cgi_prerun exception handling

I've never used CGI::Application before, so this is my first take on it:

package My::App;

use strict;
use warnings;
use base qw(CGI::Application);
use CGI::Application::Plugin::DebugMessage;

$_ = My::App->new;
$_->debug('Abandon Ship!');
$_->run;

sub cgiapp_init {
   my $self = shift;
   $self->mode_param('rm');
   $self->run_modes([ 'login', 'AUTOLOAD' ]);
}

sub cgiapp_prerun {
    my ( $this, $rm ) = @_;
    eval {
        do {
            ();
         }
    };
    if ($@) {
             $_->debug('Abandon Ship!');
    }
}

Thanks for your reply but unfortunately I don't understand your point. Maybe I did not make clear what my problem is. I have runmodes that may throw exceptions and a generic pre-run that also potentially throws exceptions. Whenever an exception occurs I want it to be handled in one central location (the error-runmode) where I will then generate different responses for the client, depending on the exception thrown (I deal with an application that generates XML for machine-clients). The question is know how to pass an exception that occurs in the pre-run on to the error-runmode in an elegant way. Sorry if you provided an answer to that in your posting that I failed to understand.	[reply]
