Re: Initializing CGI Object from $r

[darren chamberlain]

Wade Burgett ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said something to this effect on 04/21/2001:
 sub handler {
 my $r = shift;
 my $CGIQuery = new CGI($r);
 };

I think this will do what you are thining:

sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $CGIQuery = CGI-new($r-method qe 'POST' ? $r-content : $r-args);


And so on. This will initalize the CGI object with either the
content from STDIN or the query string.

But, why wouldn't you jsut use the native Apache API?

Hi,

CGI accepts filehandles, hashref's, manually typed query string and
another CGI object. (type 'perldoc CGI'). You don't want to pass it any
of these because they're mainly used for debugging. Just create an
instance of CGI without passing it any params. Since you're writing a
handler I assume you're just using CGI for it's HTML routines and not to
retreive POST or GET data.  You want to use the Apache modperl modules
as far as possible for getting input data and outputting headers, HTML
etc.

 Try not.

Can I initilize a new CGI object just by passing in a request from a
