HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI - CGI.pm-style version of HTTP::Server::Simple
HTTP::Server::Simple was already simple, but some smart-ass pointed
out that there is no CGI in HTTP, and so this module was born to
isolate the CGI.pm-related parts of this handler.
The accept_hook in this sub-class clears the environment to the
start-up state.
Initializes the global CGI object, as well as other environment
settings.
Gets or sets the class to use for creating the $cgi object passed to
handle_request .
Called with a single argument, it sets the coderef. Called with no arguments,
it returns this field's current value.
To provide an initialization subroutine to be run in the post_setup_hook,
see cgi_init.
e.g.
$server->cgi_class('CGI');
$server->cgi_init(sub {
require CGI;
CGI::initialize_globals();
});
or, if you want to use the CGI::Simple manpage,
$server->cgi_class('CGI::Simple');
$server->cgi_init(sub {
require CGI::Simple;
});
A coderef to run in the post_setup_hook.
Called with a single argument, it sets the coderef. Called with no arguments,
it returns this field's current value.
This method sets up CGI environment variables based on various
meta-headers, like the protocol, remote host name, request path, etc.
See the docs in the HTTP::Server::Simple manpage for more detail.
This routine is called whenever your server gets a request it can
handle.
It's called with a CGI object that's been pre-initialized.
