Hello Gordon,

Yes, the old stuff 'needs some adjustment'! There's a new release of
Maypole coming out soon that should fix this, so the easiest thing to do
might be to wait for it if your timetable permits that. Or you could
download a CVS release if that's more your style.

Request.pod is not that far out and a revised version will be issued
with the new Maypole.

It occurred to me recently that it ought to be possible for the various
Maypole base classes to be arranged in such a way that it isn't
necessary for user applications to have to explicitly 'use
Maypole::Constants'. Does anybody know if that will be true in the new
release?

Do you mean CGI-Debug-1.0 - 28 Dec 2000 - Jonas Liljegren ?
It looks like that uses CGI.pm whereas Maypole uses CGI::Simple.pm so it
may not be straightforward to use.
I would recommend using Maypole::CLI; I drive it with a test script.

The error handling is also being improved in the new release, I believe.
