NAME

Hangman::Application - A module containing the hangman logic

DESCRIPTION

Hangman::Application is part of the simple hangman web application. The module contains all the logic and presentation for Hangman.

Note that the application has two main entry points: the default() and the guess() subroutines. The $epoint hash at the beginning of the module sets up the call to guess() if a "guess" parameter is passed in the request. Otherwise, default() is called.

Each entry point is given itself, the session, an abstract request, and per-application configuration. They then contain application logic - note that we store a Games::WordGuess object inside $self and that this is magically persistent between calls.

This code is small and dirty as the output is generated inline using the CGI module and the add_body() method. Note that the output is stored inside $self to be passed on to Hangman::Generator.
