Good morning (GMT -5), I'm trying to follow the Mason books apprentice.perl.org example for login and session management and I'm having and issue with 'syshandler'.
The book alleges that a file called 'syshandler' will get called first, even before autohandler and even when autohandler is not called. It says that syshandler is the ideal place for setting up database handles and session cookies and such. I've tried mimicking what the book does and it doesn't seem to recognize it. Digging into the example from the book, it seems to hook it into the autohandler with an inherit. Researching it on google either points to copies of the book on line or errors that its web crawlers has found, but no longer exist. There is also no reference to it on masonhq.com's search engine or documents. Is the syshandler something they made up or is it a real component of mason? How do I go about debugging it? I thought I might have had it working once, but I can't get back there now and I'm wondering if something was cached (I got the db connection working from one file first, then tried to distribute it). Also, it seems like mason doesn't tell you when things fail, it tells you when you try to use them next time and that fails... is that a fair characterzation?
