I did something like this. But, I ended up getting rid of cgi::session and
writing my own little session manager. For a few reasons. I felt
cgi::session provided more than I needed. And, if I did my own I c
For session tracking, I keep the values in a hash and update the table in
the "teardown" method. I thought this would be a faster way to update the
session-tracking table because, by then, I the runmode would have emitted
its output and the visitor would be receiving the page while the teardown

What's a good way to abort normal processing and display a simple error
message?
For example, let's say I insert a row into a MySQL table and it fails. I
don't want to develop a lot of processing (beyond perhaps sleeping 5 seconds
and trying again) to accomodate this. I just want to display a gene

I think you are correct. Now I believe that I overlayed my header_props by
setting one property (a cookie) and then setting it again with the
redirection URL. (I thought that setting the header-type to redirect did it
I've been using cgi::application (and html::template) for the last few days.
Wow, this is the cloest thing to perfection I've seen.
I believe the documentation should note that header_props should be set only
*after* header_type. I was setting my cookie after creating a session
tracking object. Bu

Anyway, thanks! I'll be using this instead of Minimal.

Thanks for the example. (It worked!). I put it in my wrapper class (which
inherits CGI::Minimal) and it worked too. I don't understand why the method
name had to be fully qualified

Thanks. CGI::Minimal is just a way to get access to CGI vars without
accepting all the more popular things CGI.pm gives.
