NAME

6       CGI::Untaint::Maypole - Use instead of CGI::Untaint. Based on
7       CGI::Untaint
8

SYNOPSIS

10         use CGI::Untaint::Maypole;
11         my $h = CGI::Untaint::Maypole->new($params);
12         $value = $h->extract(-as_printable => 'name);
13
14         if ($h->error =~ /No input for/) {
15               # caught empty input now handle it
16                       ....
17         }
18         if ($h->raw_data->{$field} eq $object->$field) {
19           # Raw data same as database data. Perhaps we should not update field
20               ...
21         }

DESCRIPTION

24       This patches some issues I have with CGI::Untaint. You still need it
25       installed and you install handlers the same.
26
27       1) Instead of passing the empty string to the untaint handlers and
28       relying on them to handle it to everyone's liking, it seems better to
29       have CGI::Untaint just say "No input for field" if the field is blank.
30
31       2) It  adds the method "raw_data" to the get back the parameters the
32       handler was created with.
33
34   raw_data
35       Returns the parameters the handler was created with as a hashref
