NAME

       CGI::XML - Perl extension for converting CGI.pm variables to/from XML

SYNOPSIS

         use CGI::XML;
         $q = new CGI::XML;

         # convert CGI.pm variables to XML
         $xml = $q->toXML;
         $xml = $q->toXML($root);

         # convert XML to CGI.pm variables
         $q->toCGI($xml);

DESCRIPTION

       The CGI::XML module converts CGI.pm variables to XML and vice versa.

       CGI::XML is a subclass of CGI.pm, so it reads the CGI variables just as CGI.pm would.

METHODS

       $q = new CGI::XML
           creates a new instance of CGI::XML. You also have access to all of the methods in
           CGI.pm.

       $q->toXML([$root])
           where $root is an optional parameter that specifies the root element. By default,
           toXML will not return a root element.

       $q->toCGI($xml)
           where $xml is the XML you would like to convert to CGI.pm parameters. Values in the
           XML will overwrite any existing values if they exist.

NOTE

       CGI::XML does not currently handle multiple selections passed from HTML forms. This will
       be added in a future release.
