NAME

Template::Plugin::CGI - simple Template Plugin interface to CGI.pm module

SYNOPSIS

    %% USE CGI %%
    %% CGI.param('parameter') %%

    %% USE things = CGI %%
    %% things.param('name') %%
    
    # see CGI docs for other methods provided by the CGI object

DESCRIPTION

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') %%
