libcgi-perl | modules for perl5, for use in writing CGI scripts. | Mehr ... |
In addition to this package, you will also need the URI::Unescape class, which is part of the libwww-perl package. This is the replacement for the now obsolete CGI-modules package. . This package is destined to replace libcgi-pm-perl, but at the moment libcgi-pm-perl (as in the library CGI.pm) serves as the rapid prototyping version, and may be more featureful than this package. Indeed, there has been a hiatus of several years in the development of this module. . This perl 5 library uses objects to create Web fill-out forms on the fly and to parse their contents. It provides a simple interface for parsing and interpreting query strings passed to CGI scripts. However, it also offers a rich set of functions for creating fill-out forms. Instead of remembering the syntax for HTML form elements, you just make a series of perl function calls. An important fringe benefit of this is that the value of the previous query is used to initialize the form, so that the state of the form is preserved from invocation to invocation.
