SYNOPSIS
use Maypole::Application;
use Maypole::Application qw(Config::YAML);
use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug Config::YAML -Setup);
use Maypole::Application qw(Config::YAML Loader -Setup -Debug);
use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug2 MasonX AutoUntaint);
DESCRIPTION
This is a universal frontend for mod_perl1, mod_perl2, HTML::Mason and
CGI.
Automatically determines the appropriate frontend for your environment
(unless you want to use MasonX::Maypole, in which case include "MasonX"
in the arguments).
Loads plugins supplied in the "use" statement.
Responds to flags supplied in the "use" statement.
Initializes the application's configuration object.
You can omit the Maypole::Plugin:: prefix from plugins. So
Maypole::Plugin::Config::YAML becomes Config::YAML.
use Maypole::Application qw(Config::YAML);
You can also set special flags like -Setup, -Debug and -Init.
use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug Config::YAML -Setup);
The position of plugins in the chain is important, because they are
loaded/executed in the same order they appear.
FRONTEND
Under mod_perl (1 or 2), selects Apache::MVC.
Otherwise, selects CGI::Maypole.
If "MasonX" is specified, sets MasonX::Maypole as the frontend. This
currently also requires a mod_perl environment.
FLAGS-Setup
use Maypole::Application qw(-Setup);
is equivalent to
use Maypole::Application;
MyApp->setup;
Note that no options are passed to "setup()". You must ensure that
the required model config parameters are set in "MyApp->config".
See Maypole::Config for more information.
-Init
use Maypole::Application qw(-Setup -Init);
is equivalent to
use Maypole::Application;
MyApp->setup;
MyApp->init;
Note that the "-Setup" flag is required for the "-Init" flag to
work.
In persistent environments (e.g. "mod_perl"), it is useful to call
"init" once in the parent server, rather than at the beginning of
the first request to each child server, in order to share the view
code loaded during "init". Note that you must supply all the
config data to your app before calling "setup" and "init", probably
by using one of the "Maypole::Plugin::Config::*" plugins.
-Debug
use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug);
is equivalent to
use Maypole::Application;
sub debug { 1 }
You can specify a higher debug level by saying "-Debug2" etc.
