WebDyne::CGI::Simple

NAME

WebDyne::CGI::Simple - CGI-style parameter wrapper used by WebDyne request handling

SYNOPSIS

use WebDyne::CGI::Simple;

my $cgi = WebDyne::CGI::Simple->new($request);
my $name = $cgi->param('name');
my $uploads = $cgi->uploads();

DESCRIPTION

WebDyne::CGI::Simple is the concrete CGI-style parameter object used by WebDyne. It subclasses CGI::Simple, adapts request-body parsing to WebDyne request objects, and adds a few compatibility helpers so the result behaves more like modern PSGI request parameter and upload APIs.

It is normally created indirectly through $self->CGI() or WebDyne::CGI.

METHODS

  • new($request, %param)

    Construct a CGI-style parameter object from a WebDyne request object.

  • Vars()

    Return a Hash::MultiValue object of all current parameters. When called with an argument, replace the current parameter set from the supplied multivalue object.

  • env()

    Return the current %ENV as a hash reference.

  • upload()

    Delegate file-upload access to CGI::Simple with multipart handling forced on.

  • uploads()

    Return a Hash::MultiValue mapping parameter names to upload wrapper objects.

UPLOAD OBJECTS

The module also provides WebDyne::CGI::Simple::Upload, a lightweight upload wrapper with methods:

  • filename()

  • basename()

  • size()

  • content_type()

  • content()

  • fh()

  • path()

NOTES

Upload allowance and maximum POST size are controlled by WEBDYNE_CGI_DISABLE_UPLOADS and WEBDYNE_CGI_POST_MAX.
