I am writing an application following MVC with Perl Apache modules and the Template Toolkit. Apache is 1.x.
I would like to have just one entry point to the application, which would play the role of someone who sets everything necessary up and forwards the actual request to a selected handler.
From what I have read, looks like implementing that controller as a PerlFixupHandler which would use push_handlers() and pass things via pnotes() would be fine, but I am not experienced in mod_perl. Would you suggest a different approach?
A word of advice: if you'd like to use it under different web environments, create your own system for registering/calling handlers instead of using the Apache API. That is, have a map of URL-to-class and have your controller find the class to execute based on the URL and call it directly. This is how OpenInteract does it and it's saved quite a lot of grief. It also makes for nice decoupling which is always a good thing.
Of course, you could use OpenInteract as an MVC framework that uses the Template Toolkit, but that's a different matter... :-)
