This perl library uses perl5 objects to make it easy to create Web fill-out forms and parse their contents. This package defines CGI objects, entities that contain the values of the current query string and other state variables. Using a CGI object's methods, you can examine keywords and parameters passed to your script, and create forms whose initial values are taken from the current query (thereby preserving state information).

CGI::Imagemap allows CGI programmers to place TYPE=IMAGE form fields on their HTML fill-out forms, with either client-side or server-side maps emulated.

A lightweight alternative to the CGI.pm module shipped with Perl. It is approximately 1/6th the size of CGI.pm but provides largely compatible access to form decoding and a small number of other tasks essential to writing CGI scripts in Perl. Designed for people who are comfortable working closely with the HTTP protocal and writing HTML directly. Supports file uploading as just another transparently decoded form field.

Provides a micro-weight alternative to the CPAN CGI.pm module. Rather than attempt to address every possible need of a CGI programmer, it provides the _minimum_ functions needed for CGI such as form decoding (including file upload forms), URL encoding and decoding, HTTP usable date generation (RFC1123 compliant dates) and _basic_ escaping and unescaping of HTMLized text.

This file implements the CGI::MiniSvr object. This object represents an alternative interface between the application and an HTTP deamon. In a typical CGI scenario the interface is just a collection of environment variables passed to a process which then generated some outout and exits. The CGI::Base class implements this standard interface.

This is a helper routine for building CGI programs. It buffers stdout until you're completed building your output. If you should get an error before you are finished, then it will display a nice error message (in HTML), log the error, and send email about the problem.
