NAME

       Template::Plugin::CGI - Interface to the CGI module

SYNOPSIS

	   [% USE CGI %]
	   [% CGI.param('parameter') %]

	   [% USE things = CGI %]
	   [% things.param('name') %]

	   # see CGI docs for other methods provided by the CGI object

DESCRIPTION

       This is a very simple Template Toolkit Plugin interface to the "CGI" module.  A "CGI" object will be instantiated via the following
       directive:

	   [% USE CGI %]

       "CGI" methods may then be called as follows:

	   [% CGI.header %]
	   [% CGI.param('parameter') %]

       An alias can be used to provide an alternate name by which the object should be identified.

	   [% USE mycgi = CGI %]
	   [% mycgi.start_form %]
	   [% mycgi.popup_menu({ Name	=> 'Color'
				 Values => [ 'Green' 'Black' 'Brown' ] }) %]

       Parenthesised parameters to the "USE" directive will be passed to the plugin constructor:

	   [% USE cgiprm = CGI('uid=abw&name=Andy+Wardley') %]
	   [% cgiprm.param('uid') %]

METHODS

       In addition to all the methods supported by the "CGI" module, this plugin defines the following.

   params()
       This method returns a reference to a hash of all the "CGI" parameters.  Any parameters that have multiple values will be returned as lists.

	   [% USE CGI('user=abw&item=foo&item=bar') %]
	   [% CGI.params.user %]	    # abw
	   [% CGI.params.item.join(', ') %] # foo, bar

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

	   use AppConfig::CGI;

	   my $state = AppConfig::State->new(\%cfg);
	   my $cgi   = AppConfig::CGI->new($state);

	   $cgi->parse($cgi_query);
	   $cgi->parse();		# looks for CGI query in environment

OVERVIEW

       AppConfig::CGI is a Perl5 module which implements a CGI interface to AppConfig.	It examines the QUERY_STRING environment variable, or a
       string passed explicitly by parameter, which represents the additional parameters passed to a CGI query.  This is then used to update
       variable values in an AppConfig::State object accordingly.

       AppConfig::CGI is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle.

DESCRIPTION

   USING THE AppConfig::CGI MODULE
       To import and use the AppConfig::CGI module the following line should appear in your Perl script:

	   use AppConfig::CGI;

       AppConfig::CGI is used automatically if you use the AppConfig module and create an AppConfig::CGI object through the cgi() method.
       AppConfig::CGI is implemented using object-oriented methods.  A new AppConfig::CGI object is created and initialised using the new()
       method.	This returns a reference to a new AppConfig::CGI object.  A reference to an AppConfig::State object should be passed in as the
       first parameter:

	   my $state = AppConfig::State->new();
	   my $cgi   = AppConfig::CGI->new($state);

       This will create and return a reference to a new AppConfig::CGI object.

   PARSING CGI QUERIES
       The "parse()" method is used to parse a CGI query which can be specified explicitly, or is automatically extracted from the "QUERY_STRING"
       CGI environment variable.  This currently limits the module to only supporting the GET method.

       See AppConfig for information about using the AppConfig::CGI module via the cgi() method.
