NAME
HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI - CGI.pm-style version of HTTP::Server::Simple
DESCRIPTION
HTTP::Server::Simple was already simple, but some smart-ass pointed out that there is no CGI in HTTP, and so this module was born to isolate the CGI.pm-related parts of this handler. accept_hook The accept_hook in this sub-class clears the environment to the start-up state. post_setup_hook Initializes the global CGI object, as well as other environment settings. cgi_class [Classname] Gets or sets the class to use for creating the $cgi object passed to "handle_request". Called with a single argument, it sets the coderef. Called with no arguments, it returns this field's current value. To provide an initialization subroutine to be run in the post_setup_hook, see "cgi_init". e.g. $server->cgi_class('CGI'); $server->cgi_init(sub { require CGI; CGI::initialize_globals(); }); or, if you want to use CGI::Simple, $server->cgi_class('CGI::Simple'); $server->cgi_init(sub { require CGI::Simple; }); cgi_init [CODEREF] A coderef to run in the post_setup_hook. Called with a single argument, it sets the coderef. Called with no arguments, it returns this field's current value. setup This method sets up CGI environment variables based on various meta-headers, like the protocol, remote host name, request path, etc. See the docs in HTTP::Server::Simple for more detail. handle_request CGI This routine is called whenever your server gets a request it can handle. It's called with a CGI object that's been pre-initialized. You want to override this method in your subclass handler Handler implemented as part of HTTP::Server::Simple API
