Template::Plugin::CGI - Interface to the CGI module [% USE CGI %] [% CGI.param('parameter') %] [% USE things = CGI %] [% things.param('name') %] # see CGI docs for other methods provided by the CGI object This is a very simple Template Toolkit Plugin interface to the CGI module. A CGI object will be instantiated via the following directive: [% USE CGI %] CGI methods may then be called as follows: [% CGI.header %] [% CGI.param('parameter') %] An alias can be used to provide an alternate name by which the object should be identified. [% USE mycgi = CGI %] [% mycgi.start_form %] [% mycgi.popup_menu({ Name => 'Color' Values => [ 'Green' 'Black' 'Brown' ] }) %] Parenthesised parameters to the USE directive will be passed to the plugin constructor:

[% USE cgiprm = CGI('uid=abw&name=Andy+Wardley') %] [% cgiprm.param('uid') %] In addition to all the methods supported by the CGI module, this plugin defines the following.

params()
This method returns a reference to a hash of all the CGI parameters. Any parameters that have multiple values will be returned as lists. [% USE CGI('user=abw&item=foo&item=bar') %] [% CGI.params.user %] # abw [% CGI.params.item.join(', ') %] # foo, bar Andy Wardley <abw@andywardley.com> http://www.andywardley.com/ 2.65, distributed as part of the Template Toolkit version 2.14, released on 04 October 2004.
