39 Using this module, you can place the definition of your run modes for a
40 CGI::Application into directory of files (as opposed to into a Perl
41 module).
42
43 Each run mode is contained in its own file, named foo.pl for a run mode
44 called foo. The run modes are lazily evaluated (on demand) for each
45 request. In the case of mod_perl this means you can update them
46 without restarting your web server. In the case of plain CGI it means a
47 reduced startup cost if you have many run modes (because only the one
48 that you need gets parsed and loaded, along with dependent modules).
49
50 Using more than one directory with runmodes
51 You can pass multiple directory paths to the constructor for the
52 delegate:
53
54 my $delegate = new CGI::Application::Plugin::AutoRunmode::FileDelegate
55 ('/path/to/runmodes', '/path/to/more_runmodes')
56
57 In this case, they will be searched in order. The first matching file
58 becomes the run mode. In the case of errors with that file, the module
59 will croak (and not continue the search in the remaining directories).
60
62 With all the namespace nesting going on the name of this module has
63 reached an intolerable Java-esque length.
64
66 If you like the idea of moving everything outside of Perl modules into
67 seperate files, you should also have a look at
68 CGI::Application::Plugin::TemplateRunner, which does a similar thing
69 for HTML templates and the Perl code needed to provide them with data.
