Re: [cgiapp] location of instance and application files

[Jeff MacDonald <suppressed>]

Hi Brad,

I would recommend you make a directory that is outside your webspace
to house your modules. If only to keep people from digging around in
there.

I usually do something like

/usr/www/www.mysite.com/www - this dir holds my cgi's my images, my html
/usr/www/www.mysite.com/etc/ - this holds my templates, my modules etc.

then of course in your instance script have something like this after
"use strict"

use lib '/usr/www/www.mysite.com/etc/`;

It's handy for me because where I work we don't share our code.

Jeff.
