You should recommend
use DBI ();
use Carp ();
so that no symbols are imported into the name space of the start-up.pl
script as it is unlikely to be needed there.
Also, I'd recommend using libapreq's Apache::Request if you don't need
the content generating parts of CGI.pm... which leads to an
enhancement I'd like to see Doug add to libapreq's functionality:
Currently, you need to do a call like this if you're using
Apache::Request inside a Registry script:
my $ar = Apache::Request->new(Apache->request()) or die "Whoa Nelly!";
I'd like to see the Apache::Request->new() method automatically call
Apache->request() if no parameters are passed to it. Inside a
Apache->handler, it is easy since you already have a Apache->request
object passed to you, but in Registry, it is a lot of extra typing.
