This perl library uses perl5 objects to make it easy to create Web
|
|
fill-out forms and parse their contents. This package defines CGI
|
|
objects, entities that contain the values of the current query string
|
|
and other state variables. Using a CGI object's methods, you can
|
|
examine keywords and parameters passed to your script, and create
|
|
forms whose initial values are taken from the current query (thereby
|
|
preserving state information). The module provides shortcut functions
|
|
that produce boilerplate HTML, reducing typing and coding errors. It
|
|
also provides functionality for some of the more advanced features of
|
|
CGI scripting, including support for file uploads, cookies, cascading
|
|
style sheets, server push, and frames.
|
|
|
|
CGI.pm also provides a simple function-oriented programming style for
|
|
those who don't need its object-oriented features.
