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.
accept_hook
The accept_hook in this sub-class clears the environment to
the start-up state.
post_setup_hook
Initializes the global CGI object, as well as
other environment settings.
cgi_class
[Classname]
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 CGI::Simple,
$server−>cgi_class('CGI::Simple');
$server−>cgi_init(sub {
require CGI::Simple;
});
cgi_init [
CODEREF ]
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.
setup
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 HTTP::Server::Simple for more detail.
handle_request
CGI
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. You want to override this method in your subclass
