I wanted to write a couple of tests, but haven’t gotten to those (it’ll be a while before I get in the habit of working by writing those first…), so this is offered at your own risk. I’m also unsure about some of the design. So I’d welcome any comments. > Will your module work with plain CGI? Of course – what else?

No discussion on that after my pitch. :( I just don’t currently see a way to cleanly implement the design I want using that approach, so I’ve fallen back to my usual stance that solving the problem a couple of times over and then extracting abstractions from code is better than designing in the abstract. Of course I haven’t helped that along either, since I haven’t put my code anywhere yet… PS.: merlyn, your mailer is misconfigured. It’s sending UTF-8, but the headers claim it’s UTF-16BE. The end result is that your mail literally looked like a bunch of chinese. I was surprised for a moment… Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/> |

Here is my unified diff of the attachment you emailed earlier. I like this module a lot and will be retooling my simple guestbook app to use it. This is our first step towards a CGI::Prototype on Rails type thing. Maybe we could publish a Perl Review article if everything is clean and easy to follow. I am going to play with DBIx::SQLEngine for the database part of this based on a recent discussion between Simon and Sebastien about their interests in it. terry@Abulafia:~/perl/dl$ diff -u PathInfo.pm.orig PathInfo.pm --- PathInfo.pm.orig 2005-09-05 11:34:56.000000000 +0000 +++ PathInfo.pm 2005-09-05 12:46:14.000000000 +0000 @@ -57,38 +57,73 @@ =head2 ENVIRONMENT INFORMATION SLOTS +These slots provide access to information about the request loosely modelled +on the REST architectural elements described in sectoin 5.2 of Fielding's +seminal Ph.D disseration on the subject: + +http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_style.htm#sec_5_2 + =over 4 -=item resource_type +=item resource_name + +The resource name is, to quote Fielding, "the intended conceptual target of +a hypertext reference."
