>I have a very similar application and the same set of issues. Additionally, I have a small concern about using CGI_APP_RETURN_ONLY since the comment that goes along with it is "serious debug mode only". It strikes me that this variable was used for developement of CGI::Application and it may not be very clean to use it in production. Does anyone want to comment on the long-term use of this the variable? In my current solution, I have a sub-class of CGI::App with two new subs: action() and output() that are called by run(). action() replaces the first half of run() and evaluates the run-mode. output() replaces the second half or run() and builds, prints and returns $output. This cleanly separates processing the run-mode from generating the output, which in my opinion is as it should be. Then, I can further override output() to do nothing for the instances where I only want the "traffic cop". HOWEVER, this has to ultimately be the wrong answer because it just doesn't allow for clean upgrades to new versions of CGI::App. Unless there is interest in making the seperation or run() into action() and ouput() a permanent thing.? Or something like it?
