## CGI::Application - Framework for building reusable web-applications ##
#########################################################################
CGI::Application is intended to make it easier to create sophisticated,
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.
Download site for CGI::Application:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI-Application/
See the 'Changes' file for recent changes.
For more information about this module, please see our website at:
http://www.cgi-app.org/
HOW DO I INSTALL IT?
To install this module, cd to the directory that contains this README
file and type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
CGI::Application builds on standard, non-proprietary technologies and
techniques, such as the Common Gateway Interface and Lincoln D. Stein's
excellent CGI.pm module. CGI::Application judiciously avoids employing
technologies and techniques which would bind a developer to any one set
of tools, operating system or web server.
The guiding philosophy behind CGI::Application is that a web-based
application can be organized into a specific set of "Run Modes." Each
Run Mode is roughly analogous to a single screen (a form, some output, etc).
All the Run Modes are managed by a single "Application Module" which is a
Perl module. In your web server's document space there is an "Instance
Script" which is called by the web server as a CGI (or an Apache::Registry
script if you're using Apache + mod_perl).
CGI::Application is an Object-Oriented Perl module which implements an
Abstract Class. It is not intended that this package be instantiated
directly. Instead, it is intended that your Application Module will be
implemented as a Sub-Class of CGI::Application.
If you have any questions, comments, bug reports or feature suggestions,
post them to the support mailing list! To join the mailing list, simply
send a blank message to "cgiapp-subscribe@lists.erlbaum.net".
We also have an IRC channel named #cgiapp on irc.perl.org.
