Attached are four patches to CGI::Application::Server version 0.050
that implement various changes that have been discussed on the cgiapp
mailing list.
fix-pod.patch touches up the SYNOPSIS section to include 'use'
statements for the various modules in the entry-points.
fix-simple-use.patch moves HTTP::Server::Simple::Static from
CGI::Application::Server's base class list to a simple use
(pointed out by Bradley C. Bailey in the context of
CGI::Application::Dispatch::Server).
static-content.patch extends the entry-points table so that you can
point specific entry-points at directories, which are then used as
the docroot in a call to serve-static.
fix-empty-target-take-2.patch provides support for dispatching on
'/'.
I created each of these patches by developing the patches on a
subversion branch and then diffing the branch to the trunk. The
static-content.patch creates two new directories in t/htdocs and
populates them with simple index.html files that are used by the
associated test script. I found that I needed to create these
directories by hand before applying that patch or the index.html files
weren't created (but patch didn't complain either...). I don't know
if it's a freebsd-ism, or.... Go figure.
The changes to the SYNOPSIS in fix-pod.patch and in
fix-empty-target-take-2.patch overlap and if you apply them in the
order they're listed above it causes a rejection. It's a simple
one-line change to the SYNOPSIS. I'll leave it to all y'all to sort
it out in your sandboxes.
Here's what I did to test things.

will eat the attachments from this message, the patches are available
