One thing I don't like about it is that you can't write to the browser on your own, but have to return the complete output at the end of the sub. This is a major problem for one part of my application, where reports are generated from a database. The reports could get quite large--larger than I'd want to load into memory at once if I could avoid it.
You can do something like this, if you want:
sub mymode {
#...
print $self->_send_headers;
# print your data;
$self->teardown;
exit( 0 );
}
This is the method suggested on the CGI::App wiki to do an "early exit."

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
