CGI::Application 4.06

CGI::Application is a framework for building reusable web-applications.

SYNOPSIS

# In "WebApp.pm"...
package WebApp;
use base CGI::Application;

# ( setup() can even be skipped for common cases. See docs below. )
sub setup {
my $self = shift;
$self->start_mode(mode1);
$self->mode_param(rm);
$self->run_modes(
mode1 => do_stuff,
mode2 => do_more_stuff,
mode3 => do_something_else
);
}
sub do_stuff { ... }
sub do_more_stuff { ... }
sub do_something_else { ... }
1;


### In "webapp.cgi"...
use WebApp;
my $webapp = WebApp->new();
$webapp->run();

CGI::Application is intended to make it easier to create sophisticated, high-performance, reusable web-based applications. This module implements a methodology which, if followed, will make your web software easier to design, easier to document, easier to write, and easier to evolve.

CGI::Application judiciously avoids employing technologies and techniques which would bind a developer to any one set of tools, operating system or web server.
