The 'not_found' feature is CGI::Application::Dispatch, providing its own

It's flexible in that it can refer to page that is dispatched, or an
external URL. I like that.
As a refinement, I'd like pages that can be dispatched for not_found to
be displayed directly. That saves a round-trip to the browser, but it
also provides another important benefit: the URL in the location bar
won't change, which is how 404's normally work.
Any reason not proceed with that refinement?
Nope, I think it should do that. Under mod_perl you do an internal redirect so
the URL stays the same but you can get what ever page you want. How would you do
this under normal CGI?
It basically repeat the dispatching process: It would try to dispatch
the URL internally, and return the HTML directly if it works, or
redirect externally to the URI if it doesn't. Of course, if the URL is
absolute (starts with http://...), then we could skip bothering to try
to dispatch it.
