CGI : Mojolicious::Lite renders http headers when running with $app->start('cgi')

Hi,

Probably not many are running Mojolicious as a CGI script, but I'm testing
it out on a LAMP server with Firefox as my client. Here's the script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use Mojolicious::Lite;
my $app = app;
my $version = Mojolicious->VERSION;
get '/' => sub {
$self->render( inline => <<HTML );
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head>
<title>Mojolicious Title App</title>
</head>
<body>
Mojolicious: $version 
</body></html>
HTML
};
$app->start('cgi');

And here's what I see in my browser:

Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8
X-Powered-By: Mojolicious (Perl)
Status: 200 OK
Date: Sun, 21 Apr 2013 20:50:41 GMT
Content-Length: 137

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head>
<title>Mojolicious Title App</title>
</head>
<body>
Mojolicious: 2.23 
Reading:
</body></html>

So, somehow the http headers are not being treated as headers by the
client, but rather plain text which is rendered on screen. How do I fix
this?

Thanks,
Rev

Mojolicious: 2.23

That version of Mojolicious is from 2011.

Thanks, Sebastian.

I also had a 'say' statement in there which I didn't include in my example
get routine. I think that was breaking the response header process when
running as CGI.
How can I detect whether the runtime environment is CGI or Morbo?

The following works fine once I comment out the say statements, even with
my old-arse release of Mojolicious:

get '/' => sub {

my $self = shift;
# Some host environment info is modeled by Mojo::Message::Request
# which I guess is intended to emulate the HTTP request process
my $req = $self->req;
# $req can now be used to access other objects like header, url,
# running Mojolicious within a CGI environment [ with app->start('cgi') ]
my $URL = $req->url; # now we should be able to display parts of the
URL...
#say $URL;
#say $URL->host;
my $base_url = $URL->base;
my $mojoENV = ( join "\n ", sort keys %{$req->env} );
#2) How to use inline text to "render" HTML
$self->render( inline => <<HTML );
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head>
<title>Mojolicious Title App</title>
</head>
<body>
Mojolicious: $version 
Reading: $base_url 
ENV Vars: $mojoENV
</body></html>
HTML
};

"say" prints to STDOUT, which in CGI mode is the browser. Where do you want
to print these informations to?

Hi Tekki,

Originally, to the console or STDOUT, when the script was running in morbo.
This thread is just my process of realizing that if I want to take a
Mojolicious program that was previously running in morbo and have it run in
CGI instead, I have to comment out all the stuff that was previously
printing to STDOUT or STDERR.

Thanks,
Rev

This is why there's a logger built-in, i've just updated the tutorial with some more information on how to use it.

Awesome! Now I'll have to go back through my scripts and start using this.
Great update to the guides.

No, not STDERR. Anything printed to STDERR will be saved in the web
server's error log - or at least, it will with apache.

Thanks for the tip, Charlie, but have you tried running a Mojolicious CGI
script that prints to STDERR?
Just want to make sure that's tested before putting it out there.

Peace,
Rev
