CGI.pm, a Perl5 module (by Lincoln Stein) used to write CGI scripts, is documented in Ch. 19 of Learning Perl (second edition). See the CGI.pm man page for details:
|
|
% man CGI # read CGI man page
|
|
CGI.pm is compatible with the Perl4 library cgi-lib.pl:
|
|
require "cgi-lib.pl";
|
|
&ReadParse; # initialize global hash %in
|
|
print "The value of 'foo' is $in{foo}.\n";
|
|
is equivalent to
|
|
use CGI qw(:cgi-lib);
|
|
&ReadParse; # initialize global hash %in
|
|
print "The value of 'foo' is $in{foo}.\n";
|
|
Other cgi-lib.pl functions available in CGI.pm:
|
|
PrintHeader() HtmlTop() HtmlBot()
|
|
SplitParam() MethGet() MethPost()
