AppConfig::CGI - phpMan

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.
