I've been playing around with the interstitial method a bit and it's working
well for me.  But, I've run into an issue where I need to bust out of the
steps.  Has any thought been given on how to do this?

For example:

 my $p = $self->interstitial(
     {   message => "Doing 1st thing...",
         action  => sub {
             $self->do_first_thing();
         },
     },
     {   message => "Doing 2nd thing...",
         action  => sub {

             ### Something goes wrong here ....
             $self->do_second_thing();

         },
     },
     {   message => "Doing 3rd thing...",
         action  => sub {
             $self->do_third_thing();
         },
     },
 );
 return $p if $p;


If something goes on it step 2 and I don't want to proceed to step 3, how do
I do that?


One idea I had was that the interstitial method could check the result of
the given action, and if there is a result, return it.  That way my action
could return a page object and I could send the user to any page I want.

For example:

 change:
    if ($step >= 1 and $step <= @steps) { # we got work to do
      if (defined (my $code = $steps[$step - 1]{action})) {
        $code->();        # run the action
      }
    }

 to:
   if ( $step >= 1 and $step <= @steps ) {     # we got work to do
     if ( defined( my $code = $steps[ $step - 1 ]{action} ) ) {
       my $action_result = $code->();      # run the action
       if ($action_result) {
         $self->CGI->delete($cip);
         return $action_result;
       }
     }
   }


Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for the help!
