[cgiapp] Is there a better C::A design pattern

[Ski Kacoroski <suppressed>]

Hi,

Thanks to folks on this list (and C::A::P::LogDispatch) I got my 
application running last night.  However, I am pretty sure that I did 
not end up with the best way of doing it and would like comments from 
the list on ways I could improve it.  The pattern I am using are:

sub cgiapp_prerun {
  my $self=shift;
  unless ($self->session->param('logged-in')) {
    $self->prerun_mode('start_form');
  }
}

sub some_form {
  <get $session and form params>

  unless ($form_param1 || $form_param2 ...) {
    <display the form the first time>
  }

  unless (form_logic(<form_params>, <session_params>) {
    return $self->error_page("some error message")
  }

  <save values in session if necessary>

  return $self->next_form();
}

The only time I really use the runmode on a page is to return from the 
error pages to the form page that called the error for a person to try 
again.

Appreciate any ideas, hints if there is a better pattern to use.

Thanks again for your help.

cheers,

ski
