[cgiapp] list for TMPL_PATH

[Richard Dice <suppressed>]

Hello everyone...

I was wondering if there was a way to specify a list of paths for the 
template provided by ->load_tmpl to search view the TMPL_PATH in ->new. 
 E.g.

> my $webapp = MyApp->new(
>                         TMPL_PATH => [
>                                       '../apptmpls/MyApp',
>                                       '../apptmpls/.common-Superclass',
>                                       '../apptmpls/.common-cgiapp',
>                                       ],
>                         PARAMS => {
>                             POST_LOGIN_RM => 'customer_overview',
>                             REQUIRE_LOGIN => 1,
>                             TMPL_PARAMS => {
>                                 global_vars              => 1,
>                                 cache                    => 1,
>                                 die_on_bad_params        => 0,
>                                 output_file_name_comment => 1,
>                             }
>                         },
>                         );

This seems most useful to me in terms of having a collection of template 
files that would be common to the superclass (or superclasses -- I have 
a fork in my superclasses for front-end user and back-end administrative 
classes).

If this is already implemented then please, point me at it. :-) 
Otherwise, here's a patch to CGI/Application.pm.  (I'm currently 
implementing this for myself in my overloaded load_tmpl in my 
Superclass, but maybe it could be of more use to more people.

suppressed:~/tmp/cgi-app$ diff Application.pm Application.pm-new
358c358,363
<           push(@extra_params, path => [ $tmpl_path ]) unless $found;
---
>           push(@extra_params,
>               path => [
>                        ( ref($tmpl_path) eq 'ARRAY')
>                        ? @$tmpl_path
>                        : $tmpl_path
>                       ]) unless $found;

Cheers,
Richard
