[cgi-prototype-users] Using multiple base classes for an app

[Andrew G. <ag...@bu...>]

I'm starting to run into situations where I have (or will soon have)
multiple applications that need to occasionally share pages, or at least
some functionality. I was thinking that a good way of doing this would be to
allow the config_class_prefix method (CGI::Prototype::Hidden) return an
array rather than just a scalar. That way, if I was working on project one,
instead of just:

sub config_class_prefix{
    return 'Project1::App';
}

I'd like to be able to do something like this:

sub config_class_prefix{
    return qw( Project1::App Project2::App );
}

Then I could call name_to_page or shortname on pages from either project.
Does this sound like a good idea, or can you suggest a better way to share
pages and functionality between applications?

Andrew
