I use a SuperWebApp module as the base for applications, as described in
the documentation.
This can be used to get and set global items:
$self->param(
username => $username,
host => $host,
);
later . . .
print $self->param('username');
CGIApp uses CGI.pm, so I get at the form or query data when I need it
with this (in SuperWebApp.pm)
sub vars {
my $self = shift;
return $self->query->Vars; #ref to cgi params hash
}
It avoids some confusion (for me) to be consistent in naming the params
from CGI.pm "$vars" as in
my $vars = $self->vars;
HTH,
