A while back I attempted working with CAPRoutes, but failed. Today I decided to revisit it, and failed again. In fact, I am failing at getting the simplest possible application running with it, and I am wondering -- either I am completely clueless about how this is supposed to work, or this module is just not what it claims to be. I will go with the former assumption, and ask for the list's help here.
My app script is a simple use App; my $w = App->new( TMPL_PATH => "/Sites/app/_tmpl", PARAMS => { .. }, ); $w->run(); in my App.pm package, I have sub setup { my $self = shift; $self->routes_root('/app'); $self->routes([ 'foo/:page?' => 'foo', '/:page?' => 'foo', '' => 'foo', 'bar/:page' => 'bar', 'baz/:page' => 'baz', ]); $self->start_mode('foo'); $self->tmpl_path( '/Sites/app/_tmpl' ); } Ok. Here is all that goes wrong -- 1. Why do I need to provide $self->tmpl_path( '/Sites/app/_tmpl' ); in my App.pm even though I have TMPL_PATH => "/Sites/app/_tmpl", in my app.cgi? (this is not a CAPRoutes specific question). If I comment out $self->tmpl_path, the script errors out. If that is what is needed, then why even give me the option of declaring TMPL_PATH in my app.cgi? 2. I have CAPRoutes 1.02. If I do a simple 'my $debug = $self->routes_dbg;' in a run mode in my App.pm, the script dies with the error that "Undefined subroutine &CGI::Application::Plugin::Routes::Dumper called at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/CGI/Application/Plugin/Routes.pm line 49." Line 48, 49 happen to be require Data::Dumper; return Dumper($self->{'Application::Plugin::Routes::__r_params'}); If I replace 'require Data::Dumper' with 'use Data::Dumper' the error goes away, but nothing is dumped out. The $self->{'Application::Plugin::Routes::__r_params'} var is completely empty. 3. Finally, CAPRoutes doesn't seem to match any routes at all. No matter what my path_info, it always defaults to the start mode 'foo'. So, please, please let me be the clueless one here and set me right, otherwise, it will be baffling how a module that doesn't work at all got onto CPAN.
