A new developer release is now headed towards CPAN. The new stuff is all
internal changes, but there are a couple things I thought others would
be interested to comment on before they become cemented.
The first is that I've changed from using Class::ISA as part of callback
introspection to using Class::MOP. This came out of my exploration of
porting CGI::Application to Perl6, which is now in progress.
"ISA" doesn't seem to exist in Perl6, but Class::MOP provides the same
design of object introspection that Perl6 will use. So while the result
is the same, the approach appeals to me as being cleaner and forward
looking. If there are any new drawbacks, it's a slightly larger
dependency chain, and the addition of a "meta" class method to
CGI::Application, which I suppose could be a conflict in some rare case.
The other interesting thing is that rjbs has started working on breaking
up "run()" into smaller bits. This is better programming style, but also
moves towards increasing the granularity at which functionality can be
overridden.
New methods currently include:
__get_runmode
__get_runmeth
__get_body
Feedback is welcome on whether these should be exposed to the user, with
(possibly) better names. (rjbs)
