That sounds frustrating Richard. I haven't gone back to use AutoRunmode after
getting bitten the first time around with the mod_perl issue. Have you tried
the RunmodeDeclare plugin as an alternative?

Hi Mark,

Yes I have - and it does now seem to work OK under all 3 envs (mod_perl, HTTP::Simple::Server/CA::Server & mod_cgi), but I'm still a little wary of it as it seems to use deeper magic than AutoRunmode, and I'm not sure all the issues that were discussed earlier [RFC: declarative run modes (inspired by Method::Signatures)] have been addressed. Is RunmodeDeclare 'safe' to use in production in combination with many other plugins (eg CAP::Authentication, CAP::Authorization, etc) yet?


As far as I know, we fixed all the issues mentioned in that thread. I've been using RunmodeDeclare in production for a couple of weeks now, and it works fine. Since we have quite a few customers running their (online) business on our software, I tend to be careful with what I put into production. And I'm quite comfortable running it.

We use at least the following plugins in our apps:

CA::Dispatch
CAP::AutoRunmode
CAP::Session
CAP::Authentication
CAP::Authorization


The choice actually is a) fix AutoRunmode - preferable as my app. is already working with it (except under mod_perl); b) switch to RunmodeDeclare, where I will have a lot of code to convert and is pretty much a one-way ticket; and c) revert to the traditional method of declaring $self->run_modes & $self->start_mode in setup(), which can probably be considered the safer option.


We use all three methods of registering run modes in our application: we started out with the traditional way of calling "run_modes", "start_mode" and "error_mode" in "setup". Later on, we adopted CAP::AutoRunmode for newer code, and recently I've been moving us over to RunmodeDeclare in new cgiapp modules, or when I have a need to refactor existing code. All three methods run happily together. In fact, you could use all three in the same module, but I wouldn't recommend that from a maintainability viewpoint.

HTH,
Rhesa
