HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI - phpMan

NAME
    HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI - CGI.pm-style version of HTTP::Server::Simple

DESCRIPTION
    HTTP::Server::Simple was already simple, but some smart-ass pointed out
    that there is no CGI in HTTP, and so this module was born to isolate the
    CGI.pm-related parts of this handler.

  accept_hook
    The accept_hook in this sub-class clears the environment to the start-up
    state.

  post_setup_hook
    Initializes the global CGI object, as well as other environment
    settings.

  cgi_class [Classname]
    Gets or sets the class to use for creating the $cgi object passed to
    "handle_request".

    Called with a single argument, it sets the coderef. Called with no
    arguments, it returns this field's current value.

    To provide an initialization subroutine to be run in the
    post_setup_hook, see "cgi_init".

    e.g.

        $server->cgi_class('CGI');

        $server->cgi_init(sub {
            require CGI;
            CGI::initialize_globals();
        });

    or, if you want to use CGI::Simple,

        $server->cgi_class('CGI::Simple');
        $server->cgi_init(sub {
            require CGI::Simple;
        });

  cgi_init [CODEREF]
    A coderef to run in the post_setup_hook.

    Called with a single argument, it sets the coderef. Called with no
    arguments, it returns this field's current value.

  setup
    This method sets up CGI environment variables based on various
    meta-headers, like the protocol, remote host name, request path, etc.

    See the docs in HTTP::Server::Simple for more detail.

  handle_request CGI
    This routine is called whenever your server gets a request it can
    handle.

    It's called with a CGI object that's been pre-initialized. You want to
    override this method in your subclass

  handler
    Handler implemented as part of HTTP::Server::Simple API
