[cgiapp] Redirecting with CGI::App Problem (possibly mod_perl related)

[Cees Hek]

Hi Brad,

Try moving your code to the prerun stage, and look at the examples in
CGI::Application::Plugin::Redirect.  The first example in the docs is pretty
much what you want:

        use CGI::Application::Plugin::Redirect;
        sub cgiapp_prerun {
            my $self = shift;

            if ( << not logged in >> ) {
                return $self->redirect('login.html');
            }
        }

Cheers,

Cees
