NAME

       CGI::XML - Perl extension for converting CGI.pm variables to/from XML

SYNOPSIS

	 use CGI::XML;
	 $q = new CGI::XML;

	 # convert CGI.pm variables to XML
	 $xml = $q->toXML;
	 $xml = $q->toXML($root);

	 # convert XML to CGI.pm variables
	 $q->toCGI($xml);

DESCRIPTION

       The CGI::XML module converts CGI.pm variables to XML and vice versa.

       CGI::XML is a subclass of CGI.pm, so it reads the CGI variables just as CGI.pm would.

METHODS

       $q = new CGI::XML
	   creates a new instance of CGI::XML. You also have access to all of the methods in CGI.pm.

       $q->toXML([$root])
	   where $root is an optional parameter that specifies the root element. By default, toXML will not return a root element.

       $q->toCGI($xml)
	   where $xml is the XML you would like to convert to CGI.pm parameters. Values in the XML will overwrite any existing values if they
	   exist.

NOTE

       CGI::XML does not currently handle multiple selections passed from HTML forms. This will be added in a future release.

NAME

       Template::Plugin::CGI - Interface to the CGI 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') %]

METHODS

       In addition to all the methods supported by the "CGI" module, this plugin defines the following.

   params()
       This method returns a reference to a hash of all the "CGI" parameters.  Any parameters that have multiple values will be returned as lists.

	   [% USE CGI('user=abw&item=foo&item=bar') %]
	   [% CGI.params.user %]	    # abw
	   [% CGI.params.item.join(', ') %] # foo, bar
