Looks good - thanks for the reply, Thomas.
My app.cgi looks much like this now,
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI::Fast;
use App;
while (my $q = new CGI::Fast) {
my $app = new App(QUERY => $q);
$app->run();
}
Which I like, since if I want to run the CGI::App under plain CGI, all I gotta
do is swap out this small app.cgi for one specifically for CGI. I can live with
that.
And all is right with the world, except POST vars aren't being read.
Changing form method's in the HTML from, "post" to, "get" makes things work
just fine though. Looks like I'm missing another piece of the puzzle,
unfortunately.
Doing some searching, it seems to be a problem with quite a few users of
FastCGI the protocol (Seems pretty language agnostic), but I haven't figured
out any workarounds. I've made sure to update all the related modules
(CGI::App, CGI, CGI::Fast, FCGI), but that doesn't seem to have much of an
impact.
I've added an, "exit" at the end of the while loop of my, "app.cgi" script,
while (my $q = new CGI::Fast) {
my $app = new App(QUERY => $q);
$app->run();
exit;
}
just to stop the persistence, and see if it isn't a problem with something
being cached, but the behavior of not see the post vars persists. My guess is
that they're just need being read via STDIN (seems FastCGI does things a little
differently), but I don't know how to nudge Fast::CGI to do what I want.
CGI::Fast doesn't even mention anything about POST params.
There's something obvious I'm now missing?
