NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::CGI - Run CGI script from Mojolicious

VERSION

0.01

DESCRIPTION

This plugin enable the Mojolicious application to run Perl CGI scripts.

NOTICE

Running CGI scripts does not mix well with non-blocking requests, since the script will be executed inside the request as a blocking code ref.

TODO: Make it non-blocking.

SYNOPSIS

  use Mojolicious::Lite;

  plugin CGI => [ '/script' => '/path/to/cgi/script.pl' ];
  plugin CGI => {
    route => '/mount/point',
    script => '/path/to/cgi/script.pl',
    env => {}, # default is \%ENV
  };

  app->start;

METHODS

env

Returns a hash ref containing the environment variables that should be used when starting the CGI script. Defaults to %ENV when this module was loaded.

emulate_environment

  %env = $self->emulate_environment($c);

Returns a hash which contains the environment variables which should be used by the CGI script.

In addition to "env", these dynamic variables are set:

  CONTENT_LENGTH, CONTENT_TYPE, HTTP_COOKIE, HTTP_HOST, HTTP_REFERER,
  HTTP_USER_AGENT, HTTPS, PATH, PATH_INFO, QUERY_STRING, REMOTE_ADDR,
  REMOTE_HOST, REMOTE_PORT, REMOTE_USER, REQUEST_METHOD, SCRIPT_NAME,
  SERVER_PORT, SERVER_PROTOCOL.

Additional static variables:

  GATEWAY_INTERFACE = "CGI/1.1"
  SERVER_ADMIN = $ENV{USER}
  SCRIPT_FILENAME = Script name given as argument to register.
  SERVER_NAME = Sys::Hostname::hostname()
  SERVER_SOFTWARE = "Mojolicious::Plugin::CGI"

register

  $self->register($app, [ $route => $script ]);
  $self->register($app, %args);
  $self->register($app, \%args);

route and path need to exist as keys in %args unless given as plain arguments.

$route can be either a plain path or a route object.
