This is the method I've used, and the one I advocate in my upcoming book,
which is being edited by Jesse "CGI::Application" Erlbaum ("Writing Perl
Modules for CPAN"). If you need to setup parameters for the run-mode then
you can modify the CGI object. For example, an application that shows a
directory tree might have a default run-mode of show_root(). But really
you'd like to have just one method called show_dir() that can show any
directory. So show_root() might look like:
sub show_root {
my $self = shift;
my $query = $self->query;
$query->param(dir => '/'); # set dir param for show_dir()
return $self->show_dir(); # goto show_dir() run-mode
}
