# CGI::XML - phpMan

## NAME
    [CGI::XML] - Perl extension for converting CGI.pm variables to/from XML

## SYNOPSIS
      use [CGI::XML];
      $q = new [CGI::XML];

      # convert CGI.pm variables to XML
      $xml = $q->toXML;
      $xml = $q->toXML($root);

      # convert XML to CGI.pm variables
      $q->toCGI($xml);

## DESCRIPTION
    The [CGI::XML] module converts CGI.pm variables to XML and vice versa.

    [CGI::XML] is a subclass of CGI.pm, so it reads the CGI variables just as
    CGI.pm would.

## METHODS
    $q = new [CGI::XML]
        creates a new instance of [CGI::XML]. You also have access to all of
        the methods in CGI.pm.

    $q->toXML([$root])
        where $root is an optional parameter that specifies the root
        element. By default, toXML will not return a root element.

    $q->toCGI($xml)
        where $xml is the XML you would like to convert to CGI.pm
        parameters. Values in the XML will overwrite any existing values if
        they exist.

## NOTE
    [CGI::XML] does not currently handle multiple selections passed from HTML
    forms. This will be added in a future release.
