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."
