I am.

I was just letting you know in case it was relevant.

I hope to investigate this problem today.

My demo was mistakenly using the syntax of
CGI::Application::Dispatch::Server, instead of CGI::Application::Server,
as I struggled to get started with all this.

In fact, the typo I mentioned previously is in the synopsis for
CGI::Application::Dispatch::Server:

Synopsis:
  use CGI::Application::Dispatch::Server;

  my $server = CGI::Application::Dispatch::Server->new(
             class    => 'MyClass::Dispatch' <- Missing comma.
             root_dir => '/home/project/www',
   );
  $server->run;

Eventually it got something working. I had to overcome typos in the
synopsis for CGI::Application::Dispatch::Server:

Synopsis:

  use CGI::Application::Server;
  use MyCGIApp; <- Missing 'use'.
  use MyCGIApp::Admin; <- Missing 'use'.

  my $server = CGI::Application::Server->new();
  $server->document_root('./htdocs');
  $server->entry_points({
      '/index.cgi' => 'MyCGIApp',
      '/admin'     => 'MyCGIApp::Admin'
  });
  $server->run();

With that fix my demo works. Thanx for the help.
