Hi Michael

Thanx for the response.

Yes, I'm trying to use them both as base classes, as in:
use base qw(CGI::Application CGI::Application::Dispatch);

'... not intended to be used as a base class'??????
Let me quote your Synopsis:
With a dispatch table
    package MyApp::Dispatch;
    use base 'CGI::Application::Dispatch';

No $customized_profanity wonder I'm confused :=).

The Synopsis goes on:
    sub dispatch_args {
        return {
            prefix  => 'MyApp',
            table   => [
                ''                => { app => 'Welcome', rm => 'start' },
                ':app/:rm'        => { },
                'admin/:app/:rm'  => { prefix   => 'MyApp::Admin' },
            ],
        };
    }

So, how will CGI::Application::Dispatch have access to dispatch_args() if that sub is inside my module?

Anyway, thanx for the pointers. I'll battle on while I breathlessly await your reply...
