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. |
