WISHLIST  view on Meta::CPAN

         App::CELL itself, check a flag that toggles _all_ App::CELL log 
         messages so the application developer can suppress them if needed


WILL PROBABLY NEVER IMPLEMENT
20140516 put meta, core, and site params directly in the module's symbol
         table like RT does it
20140516 get App::CELL to build on Perl 5.10.0 (SLE_11_SP3)
20140524 add 'testing' mode to Load->init (prefix all paths, e.g., with 
         '/tmp')
20140610 get App::CELL to run in taint mode

by site parameters, internally the values of both are immutable. Although
it is possible to change them by cheating, the 'set' method of C<$core> and
C<$site> will refuse to change the value of an existing core/site parameter.

Therefore, use C<$meta> to store mutable values.


=head2 Taint mode

Since it imports configuration data at runtime from files supplied by the
user, L<App::CELL> should not be run under taint mode. The C<< load >>
routine checks this and will refuse to do anything if running with C<-T>.

To recapitulate: don't run L<App::CELL> in taint mode.


=head2 Installation issues with CELL internal sharedir

The easiest way to install L<App::CELL> is to use a package manager (e.g.
C<zypper>). Another way to install directly from CPAN using, e.g.,
C<cpanm>). The former way installs to the C<vendor_perl> tree, while the
latter installs to the C<site_perl> tree.

If you install two different versions of L<App::CELL>, one via package
