DESCRIPTION

Top

This Perl 5 object class is part of a demonstration of CGI::Portable in use. It is one of a set of "application components" that takes its settings and user input through CGI::Portable and uses that class to send its user output. This demo module set can be used together to implement a web site complete with static html pages, e-mail forms, guest books, segmented text document display, usage tracking, and url-forwarding. Of course, true to the intent of CGI::Portable, each of the modules in this demo set can be used independantly of the others.

SYNTAX

Top

This class does not export any functions or methods, so you need to call them using object notation. This means using Class->function() for functions and $object->method() for methods. If you are inheriting this class for your own modules, then that often means something like $self->method().

PUBLIC FUNCTIONS AND METHODS

Top

main( GLOBALS )

You invoke this method to run the application component that is encapsulated by this class. The required argument GLOBALS is an CGI::Portable object that you have previously configured to hold the instance settings and user input for this class. When this method returns then the encapsulated application will have finished and you can get its user output from the CGI::Portable object.

PREFERENCES HANDLED BY THIS MODULE

I am always interested in knowing how my work helps others, so if you put this module to use in any of your own products or services then I would appreciate (but not require) it if you send me the website url for said product or service, so I know who you are. Also, if you make non-proprietary changes to the module because it doesn't work the way you need, and you are willing to make these freely available, then please send me a copy so that I can roll desirable changes into the main release.
