=head1 DESCRIPTION
This Perl 5 object class is part of a demonstration of CGI::Portable in use.
It is one of a set of "application components" that takes its settings and user
input through CGI::Portable and uses that class to send its user output.
This demo module set can be used together to implement a web site complete with
static html pages, e-mail forms, guest books, segmented text document display,
usage tracking, and url-forwarding. Of course, true to the intent of
CGI::Portable, each of the modules in this demo set can be used independantly
of the others.
=head1 SYNTAX
This class does not export any functions or methods, so you need to call them
using object notation. This means using B<Class-E<gt>function()> for functions
and B<$object-E<gt>method()> for methods. If you are inheriting this class for
your own modules, then that often means something like B<$self-E<gt>method()>.
=head1 PUBLIC FUNCTIONS AND METHODS
=head2 main( GLOBALS )
You invoke this method to run the application component that is encapsulated by
this class. The required argument GLOBALS is an CGI::Portable object that
you have previously configured to hold the instance settings and user input for
this class. When this method returns then the encapsulated application will
have finished and you can get its user output from the CGI::Portable object.
=head1 PREFERENCES HANDLED BY THIS MODULE
I<There are no preferences. Just set the query parameter named "url" to the
destination that you want the script to forward you to. However, this module
does subclass CGI::Portable::AppStatic, so you can optionally set the
high_http_status_code and high_http_window_target preferences that it handles.>

<p>I'm sorry, but this redirection page requires a query parameter named
"$UIPN_DEST_URL", whose value is an url. No url was provided, so I
can't redirect you to it. If you got this error while clicking
on one of the links on this website, then the problem is likely
on this end. In the latter case...</p>

I am always interested in knowing how my work helps others, so if you put this
module to use in any of your own products or services then I would appreciate
(but not require) it if you send me the website url for said product or
service, so I know who you are. Also, if you make non-proprietary changes to
the module because it doesn't work the way you need, and you are willing to
make these freely available, then please send me a copy so that I can roll
desirable changes into the main release.
