Actually, that wasn't the particular testing case I was thinking of, but the point is there are -lots- of things that turn out to be good reasons for running an app on a sub-URL. Yes, there are workaround for each individual case, but they're all workarounds. Given how little more effort it is, doing things properly in the first place seems like a much better idea to me. -- Matt S Trout Need help with your Catalyst or DBIx::Class project?
