Re: [cgi-prototype-users] linking to non-default page
Generally, here's how I've dealt with it:
Make your link on the welcome page something along the lines of:

I've used this, and recommend this. In the fictional
CGI::Prototype::Cookbook, I have this:
USE selfcgiurl = url(self.CGI.url({ path => 1 }));
BLOCK link;
# [ state = "new state" ] (defaults to current state)
# [ other = { ... } ] (additional URL params)
csp = self.config_state_param;
DEFAULT state = self.param(csp);
DEFAULT other = {};
other.$csp = state;
selfcgiurl(other);
END;
Then I can say:
[% WRAPPER link state = "Login" %]Login![% END %]
Note that this requires config_state_param to not begin with an
underscore or dot, thanks to some odd interactions with TT's
restrictions.
