NAME

6       AppConfig::CGI - Perl5 module for processing CGI script parameters.
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use AppConfig::CGI;
10
11           my $state = AppConfig::State->new(\%cfg);
12           my $cgi   = AppConfig::CGI->new($state);
13
14           $cgi->parse($cgi_query);
15           $cgi->parse();               # looks for CGI query in environment
16

OVERVIEW

18       AppConfig::CGI is a Perl5 module which implements a CGI interface to
19       AppConfig.  It examines the QUERY_STRING environment variable, or a
20       string passed explicitly by parameter, which represents the additional
21       parameters passed to a CGI query.  This is then used to update variable
22       values in an AppConfig::State object accordingly.
23
24       AppConfig::CGI is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle.
25

DESCRIPTION

27   USING THE AppConfig::CGI MODULE
28       To import and use the AppConfig::CGI module the following line should
29       appear in your Perl script:
30
31           use AppConfig::CGI;
32
33       AppConfig::CGI is used automatically if you use the AppConfig module
34       and create an AppConfig::CGI object through the cgi() method.
35       AppConfig::CGI is implemented using object-oriented methods.  A new
36       AppConfig::CGI object is created and initialised using the new()
37       method.  This returns a reference to a new AppConfig::CGI object.  A
38       reference to an AppConfig::State object should be passed in as the
39       first parameter:
40
41           my $state = AppConfig::State->new();
42           my $cgi   = AppConfig::CGI->new($state);
43
44       This will create and return a reference to a new AppConfig::CGI object.
45
46   PARSING CGI QUERIES
47       The "parse()" method is used to parse a CGI query which can be
48       specified explicitly, or is automatically extracted from the
49       "QUERY_STRING" CGI environment variable.  This currently limits the
50       module to only supporting the GET method.
51
52       See AppConfig for information about using the AppConfig::CGI module via
53       the cgi() method.
