Re: Why CGI::Application?

[zby]

I have just recently started to explore C::A as well. Here is a CGI::Application wiki by the way.

The question that intrigues me is why there is another dispatch mechanism build using the run_modes method. Why the object dispatch is not enough? In what circumstances another redirection layer is needed?

Update: run_modes not run_mode.

Update: For security reasons there should be a list of methods that can be called from the web. That's unevitable, at least untill perl has public and private methods.

Ah - I'd rather do:

sub mode1{
  my $self = shift;
  return $self->mode2();
}

Is it so common place that the shorcut justifies the overhead of the additional run mode hash?
