Ditto, along with:

CGI::Application::Plugin::DBH
CGI::Application::Plugin::Redirect
CGI::Application::Plugin::ConfigAuto

Regarding CGI::Application::Plugin::DBH, I know it's a good practice to 
abstract the db logic from the app, but I'm using postgres custom variable 
classes by calling:
  $self->dbh->do("SET customclassname.variablename = ?", undef, 'foo')
and I switch the handle at times with:
  $self->dbh_default_name('dbh_handle_name').  

I need to do those things inside C::A, so I use the plugin.

BTW, can somebody tell me if I am correct in using:

use CGI::Session (qw/-ip_match/);
use CGI::Application::Plugin::Session;

to require the remote host ip address to match the ip stored in the session?
