NAME

       CGI::Application::Plugin::Redirect - Easy external redirects in CGI::Application

SYNOPSIS

        package My::App;

        use CGI::Application::Plugin::Redirect;

        sub cgiapp_prerun {
            my $self = shift;

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

        sub byebye {
            my $self = shift;

            return $self->redirect('http://www.example.com/', '301 Moved Permanently');
        }

DESCRIPTION

       This plugin provides an easy way to do external redirects in CGI::Application.  You don't
       have to worry about setting headers or worrying about return types, as that is all handled
       for you.

       "redirect" does an external redirect, which means that the browser will receive a command
       to load a new page, and a fresh request will come in.  If you just want to display the
       results of another runmode within the same module, then it is often sufficient to use the
       "forward" method in CGI::Application::Plugin::Forward instead.

METHODS

   redirect($url, $status)
       Interupt the current request, and redirect to an external URL.  If you happen to be inside
       a prerun method when you call this, the current runmode will automatically be short
       circuited so that it will not execute.  As soon as all prerun method have finished, the
       redirect will happen without the runmode being executed.

       The $status parameter is optional as the CGI module will default to something suitable.

         return $self->redirect('http://www.example.com/');

         - or -

         return $self->redirect('http://www.example.com/', '301 Moved Permanently');
