As an exercise studying mod_perl I am trying to see how could the MVC pattern be implemented. I've thought a possible approach would be to write the model using normal Perl classes, and controllers and views with Apache modules.
I suppose that controllers would use internal redirects to call the views, is there a way to pass Perl data this way? For example, in the hangman game in O'Reilly's book a controller would load a session from the cookie, process user's guest, modify the state and redirect the request internally to the view. Ideally the view shouldn't read the data to display from the database again... could it be passed somehow by the first content handler? -- fxn
