sub cgiapp_prerun {
my $self = shift;
if ( << not logged in >> ) {

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 paramater 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');
