Re: [cgiapp] Dispatch Problems (v2 & mod_perl)

[Jason Purdy <suppressed>]

That worked, Michael - thanks!  I had to restructure the project, but 
it's all working now.

Also, thanks, Viacheslav, for chiming in, too.

It was a bear to move things around - now I have things in 3 or 4 
different places (templates, stylesheet, .pm files and logs), but I 
guess I could have more easily changed the Location (but the marketing 
person in me wanted that Location ;)).

Lessons learned for next time!
