Re: [cgiapp] Test 2 - is this thing on?

[Jason Purdy <suppressed>]

We're here (the royal we ;)) - just haven't seen anything to drop/chime 
in on.  My guess is that we're all pretty busy coding up our webapps to 
instigate threads.

Drop in on our IRC channel if you want some more chatter.  irc.perl.org 
& #cgiapp

Since I'm posting, I'll add a lil' nugget I just gleamed.  We have a 
utility script that may take a while to run, so I worked in a fork() 
call, which meshes very well with cgiapp.  It helps that I don't need to 
worry about the output of the script.

sub my_runmode {
  my $self = shift;
  my $query = $self->query();
  $query->param( 'eid' ) =~ m%^(\d+)$%;
  my $email_id = $1;
  my $email = OTREmail->retrieve( $query->param( 'eid' ) );
  $email->set( 'sent_on'   => $today );
  $email->update();
  $self->push_message(
      -message => "Email sending out now"
    );
  # forking off the email sending...
  if ( my $pid = fork() ) {
    # this is the parent, in which case, we don't need anything else
    # ... Nothing to see here ...
    # ... Move along! ...
  } elsif( defined $pid ) {
    # this is the child
    close( STDOUT ); # so the parent can move on... :)
    my $output = qx%./otr_sendemails.pl $email_id%;
  } else {
    die "Cannot fork off email thread: $!";
  }
  return $self->forward( 'start' );
}

This is great for the user, b/c they get returned immediately to the 
'start' runmode while that utility script is running in the background. 
 Yes, there's safety checks in there, too -- I just cleaned it up for 
better logic following.
