CGI::XA - Clone of CGI.pm with less backwards compatibility and less namespace pollution
use CGI::XA; # then follow the CGI.pm docs and see if it does the same.
It's main purpose is to start a discussion about CGI.pm. Maybe parts of this will be folded back to CGI.pm, and then probably this module won't be developed any further.
I have started with major hacks on top of Lincoln's version 2.23 of CGI.pm in order to get rid of both AUTOLOADING and uncontrolled global variables.
I release this package as CGI::XA (which stands for "for Apache") for a limited audience as a test case.
This software is alpha software and it is not clear if it will be supported for a longer time. My preferred solution would be, Lincoln accepts (most of) the changes and continues with his excellent work.
No AUTOLOAD use strict clean no exports no cgi-lib.pl compatibility no "Q" namespace abandoned the rearrange method in several places
is in CGI.pm with which we are quite compatible with. See comments in the code. If you could supply test cases for methods that are not depending on a browser, we'd be glad to hear from you.
Lincoln D. Stein is th author of the original code which was the basis for this development. Responsibility is with Andreas König <andreas.koenig@mind.de>
perl(1), Apache(3), Apache::Switch(3).
