[cgiapp] More dynamic run_mode change questions

2005-01-07 Thread Sean Davis
For those of you using path_info parsing to get at run_modes, how do YOU deal with the dynamic run_mode changes? It is easy enough to return $self-other_run_mode, but in the setting of using path_info, that seems contradictory and may even defeat the apache-based authorization concept (if

I am using CGI::App in a mod_perl environment. I typically have run_modes submit back to themselves for validation, etc. If the form information passes, I return $self-next_run_mode (just an example). I have made a couple of changes to my previous coding style. First, I am using path_info

I might be missing something, but seems to me like you're just reinventing SSI. Have you looked at mod_include ? It would be much faster than having to bring php into the mix. I guess in a way I have reinvented SSI, I didn't really think of that as I was writing the code because I haven't

Fred, If you'e an Oracle shop, what aboout Oracle iFS? You can use a web or explorer/smb interface (or anything else like FTP), and your documents can be automatically indexed when they're uploaded. Plus, it's got versioning, check-out and check-in. Alas, it's not Perl based, but it may do what
