Yeah, args_to_new and CAD::Server have issues. You may remember the last time they bit you: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/2008q3/000656.html and http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/2008q3/000695.html I think that the shared thought of that thread was that CA::Server should be fluffed up a bit to include some functionality that folks wanted and then CAD::Server should be retired. To that end I fixed what folks were asking for, patch thread starting here (with a bit of self-commentary in the following posts): http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/2008q3/000695.html and we're waiting for a new CA::Server release w/ bated breath. g. ##### CGI::Application community mailing list ################ ## ## ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp ## ## ## ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ## ## ################################################################
