NAME

CGI::Header::Standalone - Alternative to CGI::Header

SYNOPSIS

  use CGI::Header::Standalone;
  my $h = CGI::Header::Standalone->new; # behaves like CGI::Header object

DESCRIPTION

This module inherits from CGI::Header, and also adds the following methods to the class:

$headers = $header->as_arrayref

Returns an arrayref which contains key-value pairs of HTTP headers.

  $header->as_arrayref;
  # => [
  #     'Content-length' => '3002',
  #     'Content-Type'   => 'text/plain',
  # ]

This method helps you write an adapter for mod_perl or a PSGI application which wraps your CGI.pm-based application without parsing the return value of CGI.pm's header method.

$header->as_string

Return the header fields as a formatted MIME header. If the nph property is set to true, the Status-Line is inserted to the beginning of the response headers.

This module overrides the following method of the superclass:

$header->finalize

Behaves like CGI.pm's header method. In mod_perl environment, unlike CGI.pm's header method, this method updates "headers_out" method of request_rec object directly, and so you can send headers effectively.
