Re: [cgiapp] a question about urls mapping to the project directory layout

[Caleb Rutan <suppressed>]

One thing that I do in my apps, especially now with the advent of
Plugin::AutoRunmode is to keep a config file set up with the
runmode/C::A subclass pairings.

So, for instance, if I know that I'm going to have my runmodes grouped
in some logical way (staff,client,siteAdmin for example) then I could
build three different C::A subclasses, one for each group, and then my
instance script does this:

my $module = ${$ds->config('runmodes')}{CGI::param('rm')};
unless ($module) {
        $module = ${$ds->config('runmodes')}{defaultRunmode};
}
eval "require $module";
eval {
        my $webapp = $module->new();
        $webapp->run();
}

Which uses just the one instance script, and the overly complicated
config call in there is just to return the package name to use, based
on the runmode called.

This is just my way of keeping things logically separate.  Works for
me, use it if you want.  That relys on some sort of config parser, but
it could be done by just building a runmode hash in the instance
script.

Hope it helps!
