Yes C::A will work fine in a shared hosting environment. That is exactly what I am doing at the moment - I have no mod_perl option either :( My hosting company does not have C::A as an installed module, so I placed it in my /lib/CGI/ directory and it works fine. It doesn't seem to have any other dependencies that require special installation procedures (apart from CGI.pm of course, which should be in the standard install anyway). If you do have problems with the install, there's no harm in asking your host to have it installed - most will happily install modules, particularly if they can be obtained from CPAN. 2. People generally recommend splitting application modules into functional units. For reasonably-sized projects, you might have several modules. I have about 20 so far for a medium-sized site: 4 search apps, several membership apps (for viewing/changing, unsubscribing, change password etc) and a few others. They are easy enough to link (say using a base module) and as you mentioned, it would normally be better to run a few small application modules than 1 big one - from a performance as well as a maintenance perspective. HTH, Mike. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Horne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 5:18 AM Subject: [cgiapp] A couple of questions for a newbie Hi All I've just started playing with CGI::Application, and I'm really enjoying it. I've got a couple of questions that I hope someone can lend their experience to 1. Will CGI::Application work in a shared hosting environment where I won't be able to compile it myself. I'm hoping that I can copy across my installation and set my "use lib" in my scripts? (I guess this also applies to CGI::Session too). I've had a quick browse through the files and it seems to be okay, but there may be dependencies that I'm not aware of... 2. I'm wondering how people split their application module. My shared host seems to perform okay, so I may be able to stick the whole app in one module, but I'm wondering if anyone has found that it's better to spread the load across a number of modules to reduce compilation time etc. Sadly, mod_perl isn't an option for me Thanks Dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cgiapp&r=1&w=2 To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
