CGI::Application Methodology

You create an application module

    A subclass of CGI::Application

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT package MyWebApplication; use base 'CGI::Application';

The rest of the module:

• maps the CGI parameters to a set of valid run-modes
• maps run-modes to application methods

The CGI script is an "instance script", which invokes the application module (and usually nothing else).

In operation:

1. The browser passes a run-mode to the application
   
   
2. The module evals that run-mode's method
   
   
3. The method generates new browser output
