PREREQUISITES

This package is part of a larger distribution and was NOT intended to be used directly. In order for this plugin to work properly, the following packages must be installed:

  Apache2::WebApp
  Params::Validate

INSTALLATION

From source:

  $ tar xfz Apache2-WebApp-Plugin-CGI-0.X.X.tar.gz
  $ perl MakeFile.PL PREFIX=~/path/to/custom/dir LIB=~/path/to/custom/lib
  $ make
  $ make test
  $ make install

Perl one liner using CPAN.pm:

  $ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::CGI'

Use of CPAN.pm in interactive mode:

  $ perl -MCPAN -e shell
  cpan> install Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::CGI
  cpan> quit

Just like the manual installation of Perl modules, the user may need root access during this process to insure write permission is allowed within the installation directory.

OBJECT METHODS

params

  my %param = $c->plugin('CGI')->params(\%controller);

redirect

Redirect an HTTP request to a target URI or URL.

  $c->plugin('CGI')->redirect( \%controller, $target );
