Re: [cgiapp] redirect() question...

[John Lawton <suppressed>]

I see two potential problems in your code.

1. Do not use the redirect method of the CGI.pm object from withing
CGI::App to do a redirect. Use something similar to the code below.

$self->header_type( "redirect" );
$self->header_props( -uri => $redirect_url );

2. Be sure to indicate at least the relative path to your cgi script.
Unless you have configured your web server to execut scripts from your
document root, you'll want to add prepend the cgi directory to you
script. Something like this would work with the two lines above.

my $redirect_url = "cgi-bin/login.pl"

Happy refactoring!

PS My experience has shown that Login should be separate module.
Authentication can be built into your application as an optional base
class. This is of course if you are not implementing Authorization with
the web server. =)
