in reply to RFC: Proposed tutorial - simple login script using CGI::Application

very nice tutorial!

Please fix this line:

 Inside the WebApp directory, create a 'template' subdirectory, and a 'libs' subdirectory. Next create a 'MyLib' directory inside of 'libs'.

It should be "create a 'templates' subdir". Easy typo but just took me half an hour to find the mistake.

Thanks!

        The CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication config method provides the parameters POST_LOGIN_RUNMODE and POST_LOGIN_URL for this purpose (see the documentation). I actually make use of POST_LOGIN_RUNMODE in this demo to route control through my 'okay' runmode, whose main purpose is to transition from https back to http. Feel free to modify that run mode as needed for whatever you need to do.

        You don't need to redirect to a new script. You could redirect to http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebApp/simple.pl?loginSuccess=1 for example.
