This module implements a methodology which, +if followed, will make your web software easier to design, easier to +document, easier to write, and easier to evolve. + +The guiding philosophy behind CGI::Application is that a web-based +application can be organized into a specific set of "Run-Modes." Each +Run-Mode is roughly analogous to a single screen (a form, some output, etc). +All the Run-Modes are managed by a single "Application Module" which is a +Perl module. In your web server's document space there is an "Instance +Script" which is called by the web server as a CGI (or an Apache::Registry +script if you're using Apache + mod_perl). + +CGI::Application is an Object-Oriented Perl module which implements an +Abstract Class. It is not intended that this package be instantiated +directly. Instead, it is intended that your Application Module will be +implemented as a Sub-Class of CGI::Application. |
