RE: [cgiapp] Customized Error Screens

["Cory Trese" <suppressed>]

Hello,

We use an eval statement in our instance scripts and then pass the string
(the error string from the eval{ }) to another object which outputs the
proper error message.  The object which is passed the error message is
defined in the instance script, which is generated from the
CGI::Application's configuration file.

The object, our "error handler" can do whatever it likes.  If it is a
ErrorHandlers::Developer, it prints everything.  If it is
ErrorHandlers::Security it prints a terse message.  If
ErrorHandlers::Production, it prints something friendly.

I have attached a proof-of-concept, which shows the basic idea.  It contains
specific code for our session, configuration, security, and instance script
generation stuff, but the idea is relatively clear.


Thanks,

-- Cory
