[cgiapp] Redirect runmode...

["Tim Howell" <suppressed>]

One of our recent CGI::Applications has been so useful for us that we've
created a second application with very similar functionality.  The
second application piggybacks on the interface of the first, and several
runmodes (display_menu, etc) should be handled by the first application.

Easy enough, so far.  My templates, however, have a number of places
where a script is not explicitly specified (href="?rm=my_run_mode"), and
I would like to keep them this way.  I need a way to tell the second
application that it should call the first application when these
runmodes occur.

I think the best way to handle this is by creating a runmode in the
second application that can issue a redirect to the first application
when necessary.  If I issue a redirect will the parameters sent with the
original request be sent on in the redirect?  Do I need to do something
special to make sure they are?

Finally, is there a way to create a sort of AUTOLOAD runmode so that if
any runmode is called that doesn't exist in the specified application it
can redirect to a different application and try the requested runmode
there?

Ideas?

Thanks!  =)
