=head1 ABSTRACT

This perl library uses perl5 objects to make it easy to create Web
fill-out forms and parse their contents.  This package defines CGI
objects, entities that contain the values of the current query string
and other state variables.  Using a CGI object's methods, you can
examine keywords and parameters passed to your script, and create
forms whose initial values are taken from the current query (thereby
preserving state information).  The module provides shortcut functions
that produce boilerplate HTML, reducing typing and coding errors. It
also provides functionality for some of the more advanced features of
CGI scripting, including support for file uploads, cookies, cascading
style sheets, server push, and frames.

CGI.pm also provides a simple function-oriented programming style for
those who don't need its object-oriented features.

The current version of CGI.pm is available at

  http://www.genome.wi.mit.edu/ftp/pub/software/WWW/cgi_docs.html

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=head2 PROGRAMMING STYLE

There are two styles of programming with CGI.pm, an object-oriented
style and a function-oriented style.  In the object-oriented style you
create one or more CGI objects and then use object methods to create
the various elements of the page.  Each CGI object starts out with the
list of named parameters that were passed to your CGI script by the
server.  You can modify the objects, save them to a file or database
and recreate them.  Because each object corresponds to the "state" of
the CGI script, and because each object's parameter list is
independent of the others, this allows you to save the state of the
script and restore it later.

For example, using the object oriented style, here is how you create
a simple "Hello World" HTML page:

   #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
   use CGI;                             # load CGI routines
   $q = new CGI;                        # create new CGI object
   print $q->header,                    # create the HTTP header
         $q->start_html('hello world'), # start the HTML
         $q->h1('hello world'),         # level 1 header
         $q->end_html;                  # end the HTML

In the function-oriented style, there is one default CGI object that
you rarely deal with directly.  Instead you just call functions to
retrieve CGI parameters, create HTML tags, manage cookies, and so
on.  This provides you with a cleaner programming interface, but
limits you to using one CGI object at a time.  The following example
prints the same page, but uses the function-oriented interface.
The main differences are that we now need to import a set of functions
into our name space (usually the "standard" functions), and we don't
need to create the CGI object.

   #!/usr/local/bin/perl
   use CGI qw/:standard/;           # load standard CGI routines
   print header,                    # create the HTTP header
         start_html('hello world'), # start the HTML
         h1('hello world'),         # level 1 header
         end_html;                  # end the HTML

The examples in this document mainly use the object-oriented style.
See HOW TO IMPORT FUNCTIONS for important information on
function-oriented programming in CGI.pm

=head2 CALLING CGI.PM ROUTINES

Most CGI.pm routines accept several arguments, sometimes as many as 20
optional ones!  To simplify this interface, all routines use a named
argument calling style that looks like this:

   print $q->header(-type=>'image/gif',-expires=>'+3d');

Each argument name is preceded by a dash.  Neither case nor order
matters in the argument list.  -type, -Type, and -TYPE are all
acceptable.  In fact, only the first argument needs to begin with a
dash.  If a dash is present in the first argument, CGI.pm assumes
dashes for the subsequent ones.

Several routines are commonly called with just one argument.  In the
case of these routines you can provide the single argument without an
argument name.  header() happens to be one of these routines.  In this
case, the single argument is the document type.

   print $q->header('text/html');

Other such routines are documented below.

Sometimes named arguments expect a scalar, sometimes a reference to an
array, and sometimes a reference to a hash.  Often, you can pass any
type of argument and the routine will do whatever is most appropriate.
For example, the param() routine is used to set a CGI parameter to a
single or a multi-valued value.  The two cases are shown below:

   $q->param(-name=>'veggie',-value=>'tomato');
   $q->param(-name=>'veggie',-value=>['tomato','tomahto','potato','potahto']);

A large number of routines in CGI.pm actually aren't specifically
defined in the module, but are generated automatically as needed.
These are the "HTML shortcuts," routines that generate HTML tags for
use in dynamically-generated pages.  HTML tags have both attributes
(the attribute="value" pairs within the tag itself) and contents (the
part between the opening and closing pairs.)  To distinguish between
attributes and contents, CGI.pm uses the convention of passing HTML
attributes as a hash reference as the first argument, and the
contents, if any, as any subsequent arguments.  It works out like
this:

   Code                           Generated HTML
   ----                           --------------
   h1()                           <h1>
   h1('some','contents');         <h1>some contents</h1>
   h1({-align=>left});            <h1 ALIGN="LEFT">
   h1({-align=>left},'contents'); <h1 ALIGN="LEFT">contents</h1>

HTML tags are described in more detail later.  

Many newcomers to CGI.pm are puzzled by the difference between the
calling conventions for the HTML shortcuts, which require curly braces
around the HTML tag attributes, and the calling conventions for other
routines, which manage to generate attributes without the curly
brackets.  Don't be confused.  As a convenience the curly braces are
optional in all but the HTML shortcuts.  If you like, you can use
curly braces when calling any routine that takes named arguments.  For
example:

   print $q->header( {-type=>'image/gif',-expires=>'+3d'} );

If you use the B<-w> switch, you will be warned that some CGI.pm argument
names conflict with built-in Perl functions.  The most frequent of
these is the -values argument, used to create multi-valued menus,
radio button clusters and the like.  To get around this warning, you
have several choices:

=over 4

=item 1.

Use another name for the argument, if one is available. 
For example, -value is an alias for -values.

=item 2.

Change the capitalization, e.g. -Values

=item 3.

Put quotes around the argument name, e.g. '-values'

=back

Many routines will do something useful with a named argument that it
doesn't recognize.  For example, you can produce non-standard HTTP
header fields by providing them as named arguments:

  print $q->header(-type  =>  'text/html',
                   -cost  =>  'Three smackers',
                   -annoyance_level => 'high',
                   -complaints_to   => 'bit bucket');

This will produce the following nonstandard HTTP header:

   HTTP/1.0 200 OK
   Cost: Three smackers
   Annoyance-level: high
   Complaints-to: bit bucket
   Content-type: text/html

Notice the way that underscores are translated automatically into
hyphens.  HTML-generating routines perform a different type of
translation. 

This feature allows you to keep up with the rapidly changing HTTP and
HTML "standards".

=head2 CREATING A NEW QUERY OBJECT (OBJECT-ORIENTED STYLE):

     $query = new CGI;

This will parse the input (from both POST and GET methods) and store
it into a perl5 object called $query.  

=head2 CREATING A NEW QUERY OBJECT FROM AN INPUT FILE

     $query = new CGI(INPUTFILE);

If you provide a file handle to the new() method, it will read
parameters from the file (or STDIN, or whatever).  The file can be in
any of the forms describing below under debugging (i.e. a series of
newline delimited TAG=VALUE pairs will work).  Conveniently, this type
of file is created by the save() method (see below).  Multiple records
can be saved and restored.

Perl purists will be pleased to know that this syntax accepts
references to file handles, or even references to filehandle globs,
which is the "official" way to pass a filehandle:

    $query = new CGI(\*STDIN);

You can also initialize the CGI object with a FileHandle or IO::File
object.

If you are using the function-oriented interface and want to
initialize CGI state from a file handle, the way to do this is with
B<restore_parameters()>.  This will (re)initialize the
default CGI object from the indicated file handle.

    open (IN,"test.in") || die;
    restore_parameters(IN);
    close IN;

You can also initialize the query object from an associative array
reference:

    $query = new CGI( {'dinosaur'=>'barney',
		       'song'=>'I love you',
		       'friends'=>[qw/Jessica George Nancy/]}
		    );

or from a properly formatted, URL-escaped query string:

    $query = new CGI('dinosaur=barney&color=purple');

or from a previously existing CGI object (currently this clones the
parameter list, but none of the other object-specific fields, such as
autoescaping):

    $old_query = new CGI;
    $new_query = new CGI($old_query);

To create an empty query, initialize it from an empty string or hash:

   $empty_query = new CGI("");

       -or-

   $empty_query = new CGI({});

=head2 FETCHING A LIST OF KEYWORDS FROM THE QUERY:

     @keywords = $query->keywords

If the script was invoked as the result of an <ISINDEX> search, the
parsed keywords can be obtained as an array using the keywords() method.

=head2 FETCHING THE NAMES OF ALL THE PARAMETERS PASSED TO YOUR SCRIPT:

     @names = $query->param

If the script was invoked with a parameter list
(e.g. "name1=value1&name2=value2&name3=value3"), the param() method
will return the parameter names as a list.  If the script was invoked
as an <ISINDEX> script and contains a string without ampersands
(e.g. "value1+value2+value3") , there will be a single parameter named
"keywords" containing the "+"-delimited keywords.

NOTE: As of version 1.5, the array of parameter names returned will
be in the same order as they were submitted by the browser.
Usually this order is the same as the order in which the 
parameters are defined in the form (however, this isn't part
of the spec, and so isn't guaranteed).

=head2 FETCHING THE VALUE OR VALUES OF A SINGLE NAMED PARAMETER:

    @values = $query->param('foo');

	      -or-

    $value = $query->param('foo');

Pass the param() method a single argument to fetch the value of the
named parameter. If the parameter is multivalued (e.g. from multiple
selections in a scrolling list), you can ask to receive an array.  Otherwise
the method will return a single value.

If a value is not given in the query string, as in the queries
"name1=&name2=" or "name1&name2", it will be returned as an empty
string.  This feature is new in 2.63.

=head2 SETTING THE VALUE(S) OF A NAMED PARAMETER:

    $query->param('foo','an','array','of','values');

This sets the value for the named parameter 'foo' to an array of
values.  This is one way to change the value of a field AFTER
the script has been invoked once before.  (Another way is with
the -override parameter accepted by all methods that generate
form elements.)

param() also recognizes a named parameter style of calling described
in more detail later:

    $query->param(-name=>'foo',-values=>['an','array','of','values']);

			      -or-

    $query->param(-name=>'foo',-value=>'the value');

=head2 APPENDING ADDITIONAL VALUES TO A NAMED PARAMETER:

   $query->append(-name=>'foo',-values=>['yet','more','values']);

This adds a value or list of values to the named parameter.  The
values are appended to the end of the parameter if it already exists.
Otherwise the parameter is created.  Note that this method only
recognizes the named argument calling syntax.

=head2 IMPORTING ALL PARAMETERS INTO A NAMESPACE:

   $query->import_names('R');

This creates a series of variables in the 'R' namespace.  For example,
$R::foo, @R:foo.  For keyword lists, a variable @R::keywords will appear.
If no namespace is given, this method will assume 'Q'.
WARNING:  don't import anything into 'main'; this is a major security
risk!!!!

In older versions, this method was called B<import()>.  As of version 2.20, 
this name has been removed completely to avoid conflict with the built-in
Perl module B<import> operator.

=head2 DELETING A PARAMETER COMPLETELY:

    $query->delete('foo');

This completely clears a parameter.  It sometimes useful for
resetting parameters that you don't want passed down between
script invocations.

If you are using the function call interface, use "Delete()" instead
to avoid conflicts with Perl's built-in delete operator.

=head2 DELETING ALL PARAMETERS:

   $query->delete_all();

This clears the CGI object completely.  It might be useful to ensure
that all the defaults are taken when you create a fill-out form.

Use Delete_all() instead if you are using the function call interface.

=head2 DIRECT ACCESS TO THE PARAMETER LIST:

   $q->param_fetch('address')->[1] = '1313 Mockingbird Lane';
   unshift @{$q->param_fetch(-name=>'address')},'George Munster';

If you need access to the parameter list in a way that isn't covered
by the methods above, you can obtain a direct reference to it by
calling the B<param_fetch()> method with the name of the .  This
will return an array reference to the named parameters, which you then
can manipulate in any way you like.

You can also use a named argument style using the B<-name> argument.

=head2 FETCHING THE PARAMETER LIST AS A HASH:

    $params = $q->Vars;
    print $params->{'address'};
    @foo = split("\0",$params->{'foo'});
    %params = $q->Vars;

    use CGI ':cgi-lib';
    $params = Vars;

Many people want to fetch the entire parameter list as a hash in which
the keys are the names of the CGI parameters, and the values are the
parameters' values.  The Vars() method does this.  Called in a scalar
context, it returns the parameter list as a tied hash reference.
Changing a key changes the value of the parameter in the underlying
CGI parameter list.  Called in a list context, it returns the
parameter list as an ordinary hash.  This allows you to read the
contents of the parameter list, but not to change it.

When using this, the thing you must watch out for are multivalued CGI
parameters.  Because a hash cannot distinguish between scalar and
list context, multivalued parameters will be returned as a packed
string, separated by the "\0" (null) character.  You must split this
packed string in order to get at the individual values.  This is the
convention introduced long ago by Steve Brenner in his cgi-lib.pl
module for Perl version 4.

If you wish to use Vars() as a function, import the I<:cgi-lib> set of
function calls (also see the section on CGI-LIB compatibility).

=head2 SAVING THE STATE OF THE SCRIPT TO A FILE:

    $query->save(FILEHANDLE)

This will write the current state of the form to the provided
filehandle.  You can read it back in by providing a filehandle
to the new() method.  Note that the filehandle can be a file, a pipe,
or whatever!

The format of the saved file is:

	NAME1=VALUE1
	NAME1=VALUE1'
	NAME2=VALUE2
	NAME3=VALUE3
	=

Both name and value are URL escaped.  Multi-valued CGI parameters are
represented as repeated names.  A session record is delimited by a
single = symbol.  You can write out multiple records and read them
back in with several calls to B<new>.  You can do this across several
sessions by opening the file in append mode, allowing you to create
primitive guest books, or to keep a history of users' queries.  Here's
a short example of creating multiple session records:

   use CGI;

   open (OUT,">>test.out") || die;
   $records = 5;
   foreach (0..$records) {
       my $q = new CGI;
       $q->param(-name=>'counter',-value=>$_);
       $q->save(OUT);
   }
   close OUT;

   # reopen for reading
   open (IN,"test.out") || die;
   while (!eof(IN)) {
       my $q = new CGI(IN);
       print $q->param('counter'),"\n";
   }

The file format used for save/restore is identical to that used by the
Whitehead Genome Center's data exchange format "Boulderio", and can be
manipulated and even databased using Boulderio utilities.  See

  http://stein.cshl.org/boulder/

for further details.

If you wish to use this method from the function-oriented (non-OO)
interface, the exported name for this method is B<save_parameters()>.

=head2 RETRIEVING CGI ERRORS

Errors can occur while processing user input, particularly when
processing uploaded files.  When these errors occur, CGI will stop
processing and return an empty parameter list.  You can test for
the existence and nature of errors using the I<cgi_error()> function.
The error messages are formatted as HTTP status codes. You can either
incorporate the error text into an HTML page, or use it as the value
of the HTTP status:

    my $error = $q->cgi_error;
    if ($error) {
	print $q->header(-status=>$error),
	      $q->start_html('Problems'),
              $q->h2('Request not processed'),
	      $q->strong($error);
        exit 0;
    }

When using the function-oriented interface (see the next section),
errors may only occur the first time you call I<param()>. Be ready
for this!

=head2 USING THE FUNCTION-ORIENTED INTERFACE

To use the function-oriented interface, you must specify which CGI.pm
routines or sets of routines to import into your script's namespace.
There is a small overhead associated with this importation, but it
isn't much.

   use CGI <list of methods>;

The listed methods will be imported into the current package; you can
call them directly without creating a CGI object first.  This example
shows how to import the B<param()> and B<header()>
methods, and then use them directly:

   use CGI 'param','header';
   print header('text/plain');
   $zipcode = param('zipcode');

More frequently, you'll import common sets of functions by referring
to the groups by name.  All function sets are preceded with a ":"
character as in ":html3" (for tags defined in the HTML 3 standard).

Here is a list of the function sets you can import:

=over 4

=item B<:cgi>

Import all CGI-handling methods, such as B<param()>, B<path_info()>
and the like.

=item B<:form>

Import all fill-out form generating methods, such as B<textfield()>.

=item B<:html2>

Import all methods that generate HTML 2.0 standard elements.

=item B<:html3>

Import all methods that generate HTML 3.0 elements (such as
<table>, <super> and <sub>).

=item B<:html4>

Import all methods that generate HTML 4 elements (such as
<abbrev>, <acronym> and <thead>).

=item B<:netscape>

Import all methods that generate Netscape-specific HTML extensions.

=item B<:html>

Import all HTML-generating shortcuts (i.e. 'html2' + 'html3' +
'netscape')...

=item B<:standard>

Import "standard" features, 'html2', 'html3', 'html4', 'form' and 'cgi'.

=item B<:all>

Import all the available methods.  For the full list, see the CGI.pm
code, where the variable %EXPORT_TAGS is defined.

=back

If you import a function name that is not part of CGI.pm, the module
will treat it as a new HTML tag and generate the appropriate
subroutine.  You can then use it like any other HTML tag.  This is to
provide for the rapidly-evolving HTML "standard."  For example, say
Microsoft comes out with a new tag called <gradient> (which causes the
user's desktop to be flooded with a rotating gradient fill until his
machine reboots).  You don't need to wait for a new version of CGI.pm
to start using it immediately:

   use CGI qw/:standard :html3 gradient/;
   print gradient({-start=>'red',-end=>'blue'});

Note that in the interests of execution speed CGI.pm does B<not> use
the standard L<Exporter> syntax for specifying load symbols.  This may
change in the future.

If you import any of the state-maintaining CGI or form-generating
methods, a default CGI object will be created and initialized
automatically the first time you use any of the methods that require
one to be present.  This includes B<param()>, B<textfield()>,
B<submit()> and the like.  (If you need direct access to the CGI
object, you can find it in the global variable B<$CGI::Q>).  By
importing CGI.pm methods, you can create visually elegant scripts:

   use CGI qw/:standard/;
   print 
       header,
       start_html('Simple Script'),
       h1('Simple Script'),
       start_form,
       "What's your name? ",textfield('name'),p,
       "What's the combination?",
       checkbox_group(-name=>'words',
		      -values=>['eenie','meenie','minie','moe'],
		      -defaults=>['eenie','moe']),p,
       "What's your favorite color?",
       popup_menu(-name=>'color',
		  -values=>['red','green','blue','chartreuse']),p,
       submit,
       end_form,
       hr,"\n";

    if (param) {
       print 
	   "Your name is ",em(param('name')),p,
	   "The keywords are: ",em(join(", ",param('words'))),p,
	   "Your favorite color is ",em(param('color')),".\n";
    }
    print end_html;

=head2 PRAGMAS

In addition to the function sets, there are a number of pragmas that
you can import.  Pragmas, which are always preceded by a hyphen,
change the way that CGI.pm functions in various ways.  Pragmas,
function sets, and individual functions can all be imported in the
same use() line.  For example, the following use statement imports the
standard set of functions and enables debugging mode (pragma
-debug):

   use CGI qw/:standard -debug/;

The current list of pragmas is as follows:

=over 4

=item -any

When you I<use CGI -any>, then any method that the query object
doesn't recognize will be interpreted as a new HTML tag.  This allows
you to support the next I<ad hoc> Netscape or Microsoft HTML
extension.  This lets you go wild with new and unsupported tags:

   use CGI qw(-any);
   $q=new CGI;
   print $q->gradient({speed=>'fast',start=>'red',end=>'blue'});

Since using <cite>any</cite> causes any mistyped method name
to be interpreted as an HTML tag, use it with care or not at
all.

=item -compile

This causes the indicated autoloaded methods to be compiled up front,
rather than deferred to later.  This is useful for scripts that run
for an extended period of time under FastCGI or mod_perl, and for
those destined to be crunched by Malcom Beattie's Perl compiler.  Use
it in conjunction with the methods or method families you plan to use.

   use CGI qw(-compile :standard :html3);

or even

   use CGI qw(-compile :all);

Note that using the -compile pragma in this way will always have
the effect of importing the compiled functions into the current
namespace.  If you want to compile without importing use the
compile() method instead (see below).

=item -nosticky

This makes CGI.pm not generating the hidden fields .submit
and .cgifields. It is very useful if you don't want to
have the hidden fields appear in the querystring in a GET method.
For example, a search script generated this way will have
a very nice url with search parameters for bookmarking.

=item -no_undef_params

This keeps CGI.pm from including undef params in the parameter list.

=item -no_xhtml

By default, CGI.pm versions 2.69 and higher emit XHTML
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/).  The -no_xhtml pragma disables this
feature.  Thanks to Michalis Kabrianis <kabrianis@hellug.gr> for this
feature.

=item -nph

This makes CGI.pm produce a header appropriate for an NPH (no
parsed header) script.  You may need to do other things as well
to tell the server that the script is NPH.  See the discussion
of NPH scripts below.

=item -newstyle_urls

Separate the name=value pairs in CGI parameter query strings with
semicolons rather than ampersands.  For example:

   ?name=fred;age=24;favorite_color=3

Semicolon-delimited query strings are always accepted, but will not be
emitted by self_url() and query_string() unless the -newstyle_urls
pragma is specified.

This became the default in version 2.64.

=item -oldstyle_urls

Separate the name=value pairs in CGI parameter query strings with
ampersands rather than semicolons.  This is no longer the default.

=item -autoload

This overrides the autoloader so that any function in your program
that is not recognized is referred to CGI.pm for possible evaluation.
This allows you to use all the CGI.pm functions without adding them to
your symbol table, which is of concern for mod_perl users who are
worried about memory consumption.  I<Warning:> when
I<-autoload> is in effect, you cannot use "poetry mode"
(functions without the parenthesis).  Use I<hr()> rather
than I<hr>, or add something like I<use subs qw/hr p header/> 
to the top of your script.

=item -no_debug

This turns off the command-line processing features.  If you want to
run a CGI.pm script from the command line to produce HTML, and you
don't want it to read CGI parameters from the command line or STDIN,
then use this pragma:

   use CGI qw(-no_debug :standard);

=item -debug

This turns on full debugging.  In addition to reading CGI arguments
from the command-line processing, CGI.pm will pause and try to read
arguments from STDIN, producing the message "(offline mode: enter
name=value pairs on standard input)" features.

See the section on debugging for more details.

=item -private_tempfiles

CGI.pm can process uploaded file. Ordinarily it spools the uploaded
file to a temporary directory, then deletes the file when done.
However, this opens the risk of eavesdropping as described in the file
upload section.  Another CGI script author could peek at this data
during the upload, even if it is confidential information. On Unix
systems, the -private_tempfiles pragma will cause the temporary file
to be unlinked as soon as it is opened and before any data is written
into it, reducing, but not eliminating the risk of eavesdropping
(there is still a potential race condition).  To make life harder for
the attacker, the program chooses tempfile names by calculating a 32
bit checksum of the incoming HTTP headers.

To ensure that the temporary file cannot be read by other CGI scripts,
use suEXEC or a CGI wrapper program to run your script.  The temporary
file is created with mode 0600 (neither world nor group readable).

The temporary directory is selected using the following algorithm:

    1. if the current user (e.g. "nobody") has a directory named
    "tmp" in its home directory, use that (Unix systems only).

    2. if the environment variable TMPDIR exists, use the location
    indicated.

    3. Otherwise try the locations /usr/tmp, /var/tmp, C:\temp,
    /tmp, /temp, ::Temporary Items, and \WWW_ROOT.

Each of these locations is checked that it is a directory and is
writable.  If not, the algorithm tries the next choice.

=head2 SPECIAL FORMS FOR IMPORTING HTML-TAG FUNCTIONS

Many of the methods generate HTML tags.  As described below, tag
functions automatically generate both the opening and closing tags.
For example:

  print h1('Level 1 Header');

produces

  <h1>Level 1 Header</h1>

There will be some times when you want to produce the start and end
tags yourself.  In this case, you can use the form start_I<tag_name>
and end_I<tag_name>, as in:

  print start_h1,'Level 1 Header',end_h1;

With a few exceptions (described below), start_I<tag_name> and
end_I<tag_name> functions are not generated automatically when you
I<use CGI>.  However, you can specify the tags you want to generate
I<start/end> functions for by putting an asterisk in front of their
name, or, alternatively, requesting either "start_I<tag_name>" or
"end_I<tag_name>" in the import list.

Example:

  use CGI qw/:standard *table start_ul/;

In this example, the following functions are generated in addition to
the standard ones:

=over 4

=item 1. start_table() (generates a <table> tag)

=item 2. end_table() (generates a </table> tag)

=item 3. start_ul() (generates a <ul> tag)

=item 4. end_ul() (generates a </ul> tag)

=back

=head1 GENERATING DYNAMIC DOCUMENTS

Most of CGI.pm's functions deal with creating documents on the fly.
Generally you will produce the HTTP header first, followed by the
document itself.  CGI.pm provides functions for generating HTTP
headers of various types as well as for generating HTML.  For creating
GIF images, see the GD.pm module.

Each of these functions produces a fragment of HTML or HTTP which you
can print out directly so that it displays in the browser window,
append to a string, or save to a file for later use.

=head2 CREATING A STANDARD HTTP HEADER:

Normally the first thing you will do in any CGI script is print out an
HTTP header.  This tells the browser what type of document to expect,
and gives other optional information, such as the language, expiration
date, and whether to cache the document.  The header can also be
manipulated for special purposes, such as server push and pay per view
pages.

	print $query->header;

	     -or-

	print $query->header('image/gif');

	     -or-

	print $query->header('text/html','204 No response');

	     -or-

	print $query->header(-type=>'image/gif',
			     -nph=>1,
			     -status=>'402 Payment required',
			     -expires=>'+3d',
			     -cookie=>$cookie,
                             -charset=>'utf-7',
                             -attachment=>'foo.gif',
			     -Cost=>'$2.00');

header() returns the Content-type: header.  You can provide your own
MIME type if you choose, otherwise it defaults to text/html.  An
optional second parameter specifies the status code and a human-readable
message.  For example, you can specify 204, "No response" to create a
script that tells the browser to do nothing at all.

The last example shows the named argument style for passing arguments
to the CGI methods using named parameters.  Recognized parameters are
B<-type>, B<-status>, B<-expires>, and B<-cookie>.  Any other named
parameters will be stripped of their initial hyphens and turned into
header fields, allowing you to specify any HTTP header you desire.
Internal underscores will be turned into hyphens:

    print $query->header(-Content_length=>3002);

Most browsers will not cache the output from CGI scripts.  Every time
the browser reloads the page, the script is invoked anew.  You can
change this behavior with the B<-expires> parameter.  When you specify
an absolute or relative expiration interval with this parameter, some
browsers and proxy servers will cache the script's output until the
indicated expiration date.  The following forms are all valid for the
-expires field:

	+30s                              30 seconds from now
	+10m                              ten minutes from now
	+1h                               one hour from now
	-1d                               yesterday (i.e. "ASAP!")
	now                               immediately
	+3M                               in three months
	+10y                              in ten years time
	Thursday, 25-Apr-1999 00:40:33 GMT  at the indicated time & date

The B<-cookie> parameter generates a header that tells the browser to provide
a "magic cookie" during all subsequent transactions with your script.
Netscape cookies have a special format that includes interesting attributes
such as expiration time.  Use the cookie() method to create and retrieve
session cookies.

The B<-nph> parameter, if set to a true value, will issue the correct
headers to work with an NPH (no-parse-header) script.  This is important
to use with certain servers that expect all their scripts to be NPH.

The B<-charset> parameter can be used to control the character set
sent to the browser.  If not provided, defaults to ISO-8859-1.  As a
side effect, this sets the charset() method as well.

The B<-attachment> parameter can be used to turn the page into an
attachment.  Instead of displaying the page, some browsers will prompt
the user to save it to disk.  The value of the argument is the
suggested name for the saved file.  In order for this to work, you may
have to set the B<-type> to "application/octet-stream".

=head2 GENERATING A REDIRECTION HEADER

   print $query->redirect('http://somewhere.else/in/movie/land');

Sometimes you don't want to produce a document yourself, but simply
redirect the browser elsewhere, perhaps choosing a URL based on the
time of day or the identity of the user.  

The redirect() function redirects the browser to a different URL.  If
you use redirection like this, you should B<not> print out a header as
well.

One hint I can offer is that relative links may not work correctly
when you generate a redirection to another document on your site.
This is due to a well-intentioned optimization that some servers use.
The solution to this is to use the full URL (including the http: part)
of the document you are redirecting to.

You can also use named arguments:

    print $query->redirect(-uri=>'http://somewhere.else/in/movie/land',
			   -nph=>1);

The B<-nph> parameter, if set to a true value, will issue the correct
headers to work with an NPH (no-parse-header) script.  This is important
to use with certain servers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, which
expect all their scripts to be NPH.

=head2 CREATING THE HTML DOCUMENT HEADER

   print $query->start_html(-title=>'Secrets of the Pyramids',
			    -author=>'fred@capricorn.org',
			    -base=>'true',
			    -target=>'_blank',
			    -meta=>{'keywords'=>'pharaoh secret mummy',
				    'copyright'=>'copyright 1996 King Tut'},
			    -style=>{'src'=>'/styles/style1.css'},
			    -BGCOLOR=>'blue');

After creating the HTTP header, most CGI scripts will start writing
out an HTML document.  The start_html() routine creates the top of the
page, along with a lot of optional information that controls the
page's appearance and behavior.

This method returns a canned HTML header and the opening <body> tag.
All parameters are optional.  In the named parameter form, recognized
parameters are -title, -author, -base, -xbase, -dtd, -lang and -target
(see below for the explanation).  Any additional parameters you
provide, such as the Netscape unofficial BGCOLOR attribute, are added
to the <body> tag.  Additional parameters must be proceeded by a
hyphen.

The argument B<-xbase> allows you to provide an HREF for the <base> tag
different from the current location, as in

    -xbase=>"http://home.mcom.com/"

All relative links will be interpreted relative to this tag.

The argument B<-target> allows you to provide a default target frame
for all the links and fill-out forms on the page.  B<This is a
non-standard HTTP feature which only works with Netscape browsers!>
See the Netscape documentation on frames for details of how to
manipulate this.

    -target=>"answer_window"

All relative links will be interpreted relative to this tag.
You add arbitrary meta information to the header with the B<-meta>
argument.  This argument expects a reference to an associative array
containing name/value pairs of meta information.  These will be turned
into a series of header <meta> tags that look something like this:

    <meta name="keywords" content="pharaoh secret mummy">
    <meta name="description" content="copyright 1996 King Tut">

To create an HTTP-EQUIV type of <meta> tag, use B<-head>, described
below.

The B<-style> argument is used to incorporate cascading stylesheets
into your code.  See the section on CASCADING STYLESHEETS for more
information.

The B<-lang> argument is used to incorporate a language attribute into
the <html> tag.  The default if not specified is "en-US" for US
English.  For example:

    print $q->start_html(-lang=>'fr-CA');

The B<-encoding> argument can be used to specify the character set for
XHTML.  It defaults to iso-8859-1 if not specified.

You can place other arbitrary HTML elements to the <head> section with the
B<-head> tag.  For example, to place the rarely-used <link> element in the
head section, use this:

    print start_html(-head=>Link({-rel=>'next',
		                  -href=>'http://www.capricorn.com/s2.html'}));

To incorporate multiple HTML elements into the <head> section, just pass an
array reference:

    print start_html(-head=>[ 
                             Link({-rel=>'next',
				   -href=>'http://www.capricorn.com/s2.html'}),
		             Link({-rel=>'previous',
				   -href=>'http://www.capricorn.com/s1.html'})
			     ]
		     );

And here's how to create an HTTP-EQUIV <meta> tag:

      print start_html(-head=>meta({-http_equiv => 'Content-Type',
                                    -content    => 'text/html'}))


JAVASCRIPTING: The B<-script>, B<-noScript>, B<-onLoad>,
B<-onMouseOver>, B<-onMouseOut> and B<-onUnload> parameters are used
to add Netscape JavaScript calls to your pages.  B<-script> should
point to a block of text containing JavaScript function definitions.
This block will be placed within a <script> block inside the HTML (not
HTTP) header.  The block is placed in the header in order to give your
page a fighting chance of having all its JavaScript functions in place
even if the user presses the stop button before the page has loaded
completely.  CGI.pm attempts to format the script in such a way that
JavaScript-naive browsers will not choke on the code: unfortunately
there are some browsers, such as Chimera for Unix, that get confused
by it nevertheless.

The B<-onLoad> and B<-onUnload> parameters point to fragments of JavaScript
code to execute when the page is respectively opened and closed by the
browser.  Usually these parameters are calls to functions defined in the
B<-script> field:

      $query = new CGI;
      print $query->header;
      $JSCRIPT=<<END;
      // Ask a silly question
      function riddle_me_this() {
	 var r = prompt("What walks on four legs in the morning, " +
		       "two legs in the afternoon, " +
		       "and three legs in the evening?");
	 response(r);
      }
      // Get a silly answer
      function response(answer) {
	 if (answer == "man")
	    alert("Right you are!");
	 else
	    alert("Wrong!  Guess again.");
      }
      END
      print $query->start_html(-title=>'The Riddle of the Sphinx',
			       -script=>$JSCRIPT);

Use the B<-noScript> parameter to pass some HTML text that will be displayed on 
browsers that do not have JavaScript (or browsers where JavaScript is turned
off).

Netscape 3.0 recognizes several attributes of the <script> tag,
including LANGUAGE and SRC.  The latter is particularly interesting,
as it allows you to keep the JavaScript code in a file or CGI script
rather than cluttering up each page with the source.  To use these
attributes pass a HASH reference in the B<-script> parameter containing
one or more of -language, -src, or -code:

    print $q->start_html(-title=>'The Riddle of the Sphinx',
			 -script=>{-language=>'JAVASCRIPT',
                                   -src=>'/javascript/sphinx.js'}
			 );

    print $q->(-title=>'The Riddle of the Sphinx',
	       -script=>{-language=>'PERLSCRIPT',
			 -code=>'print "hello world!\n;"'}
	       );


A final feature allows you to incorporate multiple <script> sections into the
header.  Just pass the list of script sections as an array reference.
this allows you to specify different source files for different dialects
of JavaScript.  Example:     

     print $q->start_html(-title=>'The Riddle of the Sphinx',
                          -script=>[
                                    { -language => 'JavaScript1.0',
                                      -src      => '/javascript/utilities10.js'
                                    },
                                    { -language => 'JavaScript1.1',
                                      -src      => '/javascript/utilities11.js'
                                    },
                                    { -language => 'JavaScript1.2',
                                      -src      => '/javascript/utilities12.js'
                                    },
                                    { -language => 'JavaScript28.2',
                                      -src      => '/javascript/utilities219.js'
                                    }
                                 ]
                             );

If this looks a bit extreme, take my advice and stick with straight CGI scripting.  

See

   http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/handbook/javascript/

for more information about JavaScript.

The old-style positional parameters are as follows:

=over 4

=item B<Parameters:>

=item 1.

The title

=item 2.

The author's e-mail address (will create a <link rev="MADE"> tag if present

=item 3.

A 'true' flag if you want to include a <base> tag in the header.  This
helps resolve relative addresses to absolute ones when the document is moved, 
but makes the document hierarchy non-portable.  Use with care!

=item 4, 5, 6...

Any other parameters you want to include in the <body> tag.  This is a good
place to put Netscape extensions, such as colors and wallpaper patterns.

=back

=head2 ENDING THE HTML DOCUMENT:

	print $query->end_html

This ends an HTML document by printing the </body></html> tags.

=head2 CREATING A SELF-REFERENCING URL THAT PRESERVES STATE INFORMATION:

    $myself = $query->self_url;
    print q(<a href="$myself">I'm talking to myself.</a>);

self_url() will return a URL, that, when selected, will reinvoke
this script with all its state information intact.  This is most
useful when you want to jump around within the document using
internal anchors but you don't want to disrupt the current contents
of the form(s).  Something like this will do the trick.

     $myself = $query->self_url;
     print "<a href=$myself#table1>See table 1</a>";
     print "<a href=$myself#table2>See table 2</a>";
     print "<a href=$myself#yourself>See for yourself</a>";

If you want more control over what's returned, using the B<url()>
method instead.

You can also retrieve the unprocessed query string with query_string():

    $the_string = $query->query_string;

=head2 OBTAINING THE SCRIPT'S URL

    $full_url      = $query->url();
    $full_url      = $query->url(-full=>1);  #alternative syntax
    $relative_url  = $query->url(-relative=>1);
    $absolute_url  = $query->url(-absolute=>1);
    $url_with_path = $query->url(-path_info=>1);
    $url_with_path_and_query = $query->url(-path_info=>1,-query=>1);
    $netloc        = $query->url(-base => 1);

B<url()> returns the script's URL in a variety of formats.  Called
without any arguments, it returns the full form of the URL, including
host name and port number

    http://your.host.com/path/to/script.cgi

You can modify this format with the following named arguments:

=over 4

=item B<-absolute>

If true, produce an absolute URL, e.g.

    /path/to/script.cgi

=item B<-relative>

Produce a relative URL.  This is useful if you want to reinvoke your
script with different parameters. For example:

    script.cgi

=item B<-full>

Produce the full URL, exactly as if called without any arguments.
This overrides the -relative and -absolute arguments.

=item B<-path> (B<-path_info>)

Append the additional path information to the URL.  This can be
combined with B<-full>, B<-absolute> or B<-relative>.  B<-path_info>
is provided as a synonym.

=item B<-query> (B<-query_string>)

Append the query string to the URL.  This can be combined with
B<-full>, B<-absolute> or B<-relative>.  B<-query_string> is provided
as a synonym.

=item B<-base>

Generate just the protocol and net location, as in http://www.foo.com:8000

=back

=head2 MIXING POST AND URL PARAMETERS

   $color = $query-&gt;url_param('color');

It is possible for a script to receive CGI parameters in the URL as
well as in the fill-out form by creating a form that POSTs to a URL
containing a query string (a "?" mark followed by arguments).  The
B<param()> method will always return the contents of the POSTed
fill-out form, ignoring the URL's query string.  To retrieve URL
parameters, call the B<url_param()> method.  Use it in the same way as
B<param()>.  The main difference is that it allows you to read the
parameters, but not set them.


Under no circumstances will the contents of the URL query string
interfere with similarly-named CGI parameters in POSTed forms.  If you
try to mix a URL query string with a form submitted with the GET
method, the results will not be what you expect.

=head1 CREATING STANDARD HTML ELEMENTS:

CGI.pm defines general HTML shortcut methods for most, if not all of
the HTML 3 and HTML 4 tags.  HTML shortcuts are named after a single
HTML element and return a fragment of HTML text that you can then
print or manipulate as you like.  Each shortcut returns a fragment of
HTML code that you can append to a string, save to a file, or, most
commonly, print out so that it displays in the browser window.

This example shows how to use the HTML methods:

   $q = new CGI;
   print $q->blockquote(
		     "Many years ago on the island of",
		     $q->a({href=>"http://crete.org/"},"Crete"),
		     "there lived a Minotaur named",
		     $q->strong("Fred."),
		    ),
       $q->hr;

This results in the following HTML code (extra newlines have been
added for readability):

   <blockquote>
   Many years ago on the island of
   <a href="http://crete.org/">Crete</a> there lived
   a minotaur named <strong>Fred.</strong> 
   </blockquote>
   <hr>

If you find the syntax for calling the HTML shortcuts awkward, you can
import them into your namespace and dispense with the object syntax
completely (see the next section for more details):

   use CGI ':standard';
   print blockquote(
      "Many years ago on the island of",
      a({href=>"http://crete.org/"},"Crete"),
      "there lived a minotaur named",
      strong("Fred."),
      ),
      hr;

=head2 PROVIDING ARGUMENTS TO HTML SHORTCUTS

The HTML methods will accept zero, one or multiple arguments.  If you
provide no arguments, you get a single tag:

   print hr;  	#  <hr>

If you provide one or more string arguments, they are concatenated
together with spaces and placed between opening and closing tags:

   print h1("Chapter","1"); # <h1>Chapter 1</h1>"

If the first argument is an associative array reference, then the keys
and values of the associative array become the HTML tag's attributes:

   print a({-href=>'fred.html',-target=>'_new'},
      "Open a new frame");

	    <a href="fred.html",target="_new">Open a new frame</a>

You may dispense with the dashes in front of the attribute names if
you prefer:

   print img {src=>'fred.gif',align=>'LEFT'};

	   <img align="LEFT" src="fred.gif">

Sometimes an HTML tag attribute has no argument.  For example, ordered
lists can be marked as COMPACT.  The syntax for this is an argument
that points to an undef string:

   print ol({compact=>undef},li('one'),li('two'),li('three'));

Prior to CGI.pm version 2.41, providing an empty ('') string as an
attribute argument was the same as providing undef.  However, this has
changed in order to accommodate those who want to create tags of the form
<img alt="">.  The difference is shown in these two pieces of code:

     CODE                   RESULT
     img({alt=>undef})      <img alt>
     img({alt=>''})         <img alt="">

=head2 THE DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY OF HTML SHORTCUTS

One of the cool features of the HTML shortcuts is that they are
distributive.  If you give them an argument consisting of a
B<reference> to a list, the tag will be distributed across each
element of the list.  For example, here's one way to make an ordered
list:

   print ul(
             li({-type=>'disc'},['Sneezy','Doc','Sleepy','Happy'])
           );

This example will result in HTML output that looks like this:

   <ul>
     <li type="disc">Sneezy</li>
     <li type="disc">Doc</li>
     <li type="disc">Sleepy</li>
     <li type="disc">Happy</li>
   </ul>

This is extremely useful for creating tables.  For example:

   print table({-border=>undef},
           caption('When Should You Eat Your Vegetables?'),
           Tr({-align=>CENTER,-valign=>TOP},

=head2 HTML SHORTCUTS AND LIST INTERPOLATION

Consider this bit of code:

   print blockquote(em('Hi'),'mom!'));

It will ordinarily return the string that you probably expect, namely:

   <blockquote><em>Hi</em> mom!</blockquote>

Note the space between the element "Hi" and the element "mom!".
CGI.pm puts the extra space there using array interpolation, which is
controlled by the magic $" variable.  Sometimes this extra space is
not what you want, for example, when you are trying to align a series
of images.  In this case, you can simply change the value of $" to an
empty string.

   {
      local($") = '';
      print blockquote(em('Hi'),'mom!'));
    }

I suggest you put the code in a block as shown here.  Otherwise the
change to $" will affect all subsequent code until you explicitly
reset it.

=head2 NON-STANDARD HTML SHORTCUTS

A few HTML tags don't follow the standard pattern for various
reasons.  

B<comment()> generates an HTML comment (<!-- comment -->).  Call it
like

    print comment('here is my comment');

Because of conflicts with built-in Perl functions, the following functions
begin with initial caps:

    Select
    Tr
    Link
    Delete
    Accept
    Sub

In addition, start_html(), end_html(), start_form(), end_form(),
start_multipart_form() and all the fill-out form tags are special.
See their respective sections.

=head2 AUTOESCAPING HTML

By default, all HTML that is emitted by the form-generating functions
is passed through a function called escapeHTML():

=over 4

=item $escaped_string = escapeHTML("unescaped string");

Escape HTML formatting characters in a string.

=back

Provided that you have specified a character set of ISO-8859-1 (the
default), the standard HTML escaping rules will be used.  The "<"
character becomes "&lt;", ">" becomes "&gt;", "&" becomes "&amp;", and
the quote character becomes "&quot;".  In addition, the hexadecimal
0x8b and 0x9b characters, which many windows-based browsers interpret
as the left and right angle-bracket characters, are replaced by their
numeric HTML entities ("&#139" and "&#155;").  If you manually change
the charset, either by calling the charset() method explicitly or by
passing a -charset argument to header(), then B<all> characters will
be replaced by their numeric entities, since CGI.pm has no lookup
table for all the possible encodings.

The automatic escaping does not apply to other shortcuts, such as
h1().  You should call escapeHTML() yourself on untrusted data in
order to protect your pages against nasty tricks that people may enter
into guestbooks, etc..  To change the character set, use charset().
To turn autoescaping off completely, use autoescape():

=over 4

=item $charset = charset([$charset]);

Get or set the current character set.

=item $flag = autoEscape([$flag]);

Get or set the value of the autoescape flag.

=back

=head2 PRETTY-PRINTING HTML

By default, all the HTML produced by these functions comes out as one
long line without carriage returns or indentation. This is yuck, but
it does reduce the size of the documents by 10-20%.  To get
pretty-printed output, please use L<CGI::Pretty>, a subclass
contributed by Brian Paulsen.

=head1 CREATING FILL-OUT FORMS:

I<General note>  The various form-creating methods all return strings
to the caller, containing the tag or tags that will create the requested
form element.  You are responsible for actually printing out these strings.
It's set up this way so that you can place formatting tags
around the form elements.

I<Another note> The default values that you specify for the forms are only
used the B<first> time the script is invoked (when there is no query
string).  On subsequent invocations of the script (when there is a query
string), the former values are used even if they are blank.  

If you want to change the value of a field from its previous value, you have two
choices:

(1) call the param() method to set it.

(2) use the -override (alias -force) parameter (a new feature in version 2.15).
This forces the default value to be used, regardless of the previous value:

   print $query->textfield(-name=>'field_name',
			   -default=>'starting value',
			   -override=>1,
			   -size=>50,
			   -maxlength=>80);

I<Yet another note> By default, the text and labels of form elements are
escaped according to HTML rules.  This means that you can safely use
"<CLICK ME>" as the label for a button.  However, it also interferes with
your ability to incorporate special HTML character sequences, such as &Aacute;,
into your fields.  If you wish to turn off automatic escaping, call the
autoEscape() method with a false value immediately after creating the CGI object:

   $query = new CGI;
   $query->autoEscape(undef);

=head2 CREATING AN ISINDEX TAG

   print $query->isindex(-action=>$action);

	 -or-

   print $query->isindex($action);

Prints out an <isindex> tag.  Not very exciting.  The parameter
-action specifies the URL of the script to process the query.  The
default is to process the query with the current script.

=head2 STARTING AND ENDING A FORM

    print $query->start_form(-method=>$method,
			    -action=>$action,
			    -enctype=>$encoding);
      <... various form stuff ...>
    print $query->endform;

	-or-

    print $query->start_form($method,$action,$encoding);
      <... various form stuff ...>
    print $query->endform;

start_form() will return a <form> tag with the optional method,
action and form encoding that you specify.  The defaults are:

    method: POST
    action: this script
    enctype: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

endform() returns the closing </form> tag.  

Start_form()'s enctype argument tells the browser how to package the various
fields of the form before sending the form to the server.  Two
values are possible:

B<Note:> This method was previously named startform(), and startform()
is still recognized as an alias.

=over 4

=item B<application/x-www-form-urlencoded>

This is the older type of encoding used by all browsers prior to
Netscape 2.0.  It is compatible with many CGI scripts and is
suitable for short fields containing text data.  For your
convenience, CGI.pm stores the name of this encoding
type in B<&CGI::URL_ENCODED>.

=item B<multipart/form-data>

This is the newer type of encoding introduced by Netscape 2.0.
It is suitable for forms that contain very large fields or that
are intended for transferring binary data.  Most importantly,
it enables the "file upload" feature of Netscape 2.0 forms.  For
your convenience, CGI.pm stores the name of this encoding type
in B<&CGI::MULTIPART>

Forms that use this type of encoding are not easily interpreted
by CGI scripts unless they use CGI.pm or another library designed
to handle them.

=back

For compatibility, the start_form() method uses the older form of
encoding by default.  If you want to use the newer form of encoding
by default, you can call B<start_multipart_form()> instead of
B<start_form()>.

JAVASCRIPTING: The B<-name> and B<-onSubmit> parameters are provided
for use with JavaScript.  The -name parameter gives the
form a name so that it can be identified and manipulated by
JavaScript functions.  -onSubmit should point to a JavaScript
function that will be executed just before the form is submitted to your
server.  You can use this opportunity to check the contents of the form 
for consistency and completeness.  If you find something wrong, you
can put up an alert box or maybe fix things up yourself.  You can 
abort the submission by returning false from this function.  

Usually the bulk of JavaScript functions are defined in a <script>
block in the HTML header and -onSubmit points to one of these function
call.  See start_html() for details.

=head2 CREATING A TEXT FIELD

    print $query->textfield(-name=>'field_name',
			    -default=>'starting value',
			    -size=>50,
			    -maxlength=>80);
	-or-

    print $query->textfield('field_name','starting value',50,80);

textfield() will return a text input field.  

=over 4

=item B<Parameters>

=item 1.

The first parameter is the required name for the field (-name).  

=item 2.

The optional second parameter is the default starting value for the field
contents (-default).  

=item 3.

The optional third parameter is the size of the field in
      characters (-size).

=item 4.

The optional fourth parameter is the maximum number of characters the
      field will accept (-maxlength).

=back

As with all these methods, the field will be initialized with its 
previous contents from earlier invocations of the script.
When the form is processed, the value of the text field can be
retrieved with:

       $value = $query->param('foo');

If you want to reset it from its initial value after the script has been
called once, you can do so like this:

       $query->param('foo',"I'm taking over this value!");

NEW AS OF VERSION 2.15: If you don't want the field to take on its previous
value, you can force its current value by using the -override (alias -force)
parameter:

    print $query->textfield(-name=>'field_name',
			    -default=>'starting value',
			    -override=>1,
			    -size=>50,
			    -maxlength=>80);

JAVASCRIPTING: You can also provide B<-onChange>, B<-onFocus>,
B<-onBlur>, B<-onMouseOver>, B<-onMouseOut> and B<-onSelect>
parameters to register JavaScript event handlers.  The onChange
handler will be called whenever the user changes the contents of the
text field.  You can do text validation if you like.  onFocus and
onBlur are called respectively when the insertion point moves into and
out of the text field.  onSelect is called when the user changes the
portion of the text that is selected.

=head2 CREATING A BIG TEXT FIELD

   print $query->textarea(-name=>'foo',
			  -default=>'starting value',
			  -rows=>10,
			  -columns=>50);

	-or

   print $query->textarea('foo','starting value',10,50);

textarea() is just like textfield, but it allows you to specify
rows and columns for a multiline text entry box.  You can provide
a starting value for the field, which can be long and contain
multiple lines.

JAVASCRIPTING: The B<-onChange>, B<-onFocus>, B<-onBlur> ,
B<-onMouseOver>, B<-onMouseOut>, and B<-onSelect> parameters are
recognized.  See textfield().

=head2 CREATING A PASSWORD FIELD

   print $query->password_field(-name=>'secret',
				-value=>'starting value',
				-size=>50,
				-maxlength=>80);
	-or-

   print $query->password_field('secret','starting value',50,80);

password_field() is identical to textfield(), except that its contents 
will be starred out on the web page.

JAVASCRIPTING: The B<-onChange>, B<-onFocus>, B<-onBlur>,
B<-onMouseOver>, B<-onMouseOut> and B<-onSelect> parameters are
recognized.  See textfield().

=head2 CREATING A FILE UPLOAD FIELD

    print $query->filefield(-name=>'uploaded_file',
			    -default=>'starting value',
			    -size=>50,
			    -maxlength=>80);
	-or-

    print $query->filefield('uploaded_file','starting value',50,80);

filefield() will return a file upload field for Netscape 2.0 browsers.
In order to take full advantage of this I<you must use the new 
multipart encoding scheme> for the form.  You can do this either
by calling B<start_form()> with an encoding type of B<&CGI::MULTIPART>,
or by calling the new method B<start_multipart_form()> instead of
vanilla B<start_form()>.

=over 4

=item B<Parameters>

=item 1.

The first parameter is the required name for the field (-name).  

=item 2.

The optional second parameter is the starting value for the field contents
to be used as the default file name (-default).

For security reasons, browsers don't pay any attention to this field,
and so the starting value will always be blank.  Worse, the field
loses its "sticky" behavior and forgets its previous contents.  The
starting value field is called for in the HTML specification, however,
and possibly some browser will eventually provide support for it.

=item 3.

The optional third parameter is the size of the field in
characters (-size).

=item 4.

The optional fourth parameter is the maximum number of characters the
field will accept (-maxlength).

=back

When the form is processed, you can retrieve the entered filename
by calling param():

       $filename = $query->param('uploaded_file');

Different browsers will return slightly different things for the
name.  Some browsers return the filename only.  Others return the full
path to the file, using the path conventions of the user's machine.
Regardless, the name returned is always the name of the file on the
I<user's> machine, and is unrelated to the name of the temporary file
that CGI.pm creates during upload spooling (see below).

The filename returned is also a file handle.  You can read the contents
of the file using standard Perl file reading calls:

	# Read a text file and print it out
	while (<$filename>) {
	   print;
	}

	# Copy a binary file to somewhere safe
	open (OUTFILE,">>/usr/local/web/users/feedback");
	while ($bytesread=read($filename,$buffer,1024)) {
	   print OUTFILE $buffer;
	}

However, there are problems with the dual nature of the upload fields.
If you C<use strict>, then Perl will complain when you try to use a
string as a filehandle.  You can get around this by placing the file
reading code in a block containing the C<no strict> pragma.  More
seriously, it is possible for the remote user to type garbage into the
upload field, in which case what you get from param() is not a
filehandle at all, but a string.

To be safe, use the I<upload()> function (new in version 2.47).  When
called with the name of an upload field, I<upload()> returns a
filehandle, or undef if the parameter is not a valid filehandle.

     $fh = $query->upload('uploaded_file');
     while (<$fh>) {
	   print;
     }

In an array context, upload() will return an array of filehandles.
This makes it possible to create forms that use the same name for
multiple upload fields.

This is the recommended idiom.

When a file is uploaded the browser usually sends along some
information along with it in the format of headers.  The information
usually includes the MIME content type.  Future browsers may send
other information as well (such as modification date and size). To
retrieve this information, call uploadInfo().  It returns a reference to
an associative array containing all the document headers.

       $filename = $query->param('uploaded_file');
       $type = $query->uploadInfo($filename)->{'Content-Type'};
       unless ($type eq 'text/html') {
	  die "HTML FILES ONLY!";
       }

If you are using a machine that recognizes "text" and "binary" data
modes, be sure to understand when and how to use them (see the Camel book).  
Otherwise you may find that binary files are corrupted during file
uploads.

There are occasionally problems involving parsing the uploaded file.
This usually happens when the user presses "Stop" before the upload is
finished.  In this case, CGI.pm will return undef for the name of the
uploaded file and set I<cgi_error()> to the string "400 Bad request
(malformed multipart POST)".  This error message is designed so that
you can incorporate it into a status code to be sent to the browser.
Example:

   $file = $query->upload('uploaded_file');
   if (!$file && $query->cgi_error) {
      print $query->header(-status=>$query->cgi_error);
      exit 0;
   }

You are free to create a custom HTML page to complain about the error,
if you wish.

If you are using CGI.pm on a Windows platform and find that binary
files get slightly larger when uploaded but that text files remain the
same, then you have forgotten to activate binary mode on the output
filehandle.  Be sure to call binmode() on any handle that you create
to write the uploaded file to disk.

JAVASCRIPTING: The B<-onChange>, B<-onFocus>, B<-onBlur>,
B<-onMouseOver>, B<-onMouseOut> and B<-onSelect> parameters are
recognized.  See textfield() for details.

=head2 CREATING A POPUP MENU

   print $query->popup_menu('menu_name',
			    ['eenie','meenie','minie'],
			    'meenie');

      -or-

   %labels = ('eenie'=>'your first choice',
	      'meenie'=>'your second choice',
	      'minie'=>'your third choice');
   print $query->popup_menu('menu_name',
			    ['eenie','meenie','minie'],
			    'meenie',\%labels);

	-or (named parameter style)-

   print $query->popup_menu(-name=>'menu_name',
			    -values=>['eenie','meenie','minie'],
			    -default=>'meenie',
			    -labels=>\%labels);

popup_menu() creates a menu.

=over 4

=item 1.

The required first argument is the menu's name (-name).

=item 2.

The required second argument (-values) is an array B<reference>
containing the list of menu items in the menu.  You can pass the
method an anonymous array, as shown in the example, or a reference to
a named array, such as "\@foo".

=item 3.

The optional third parameter (-default) is the name of the default
menu choice.  If not specified, the first item will be the default.
The values of the previous choice will be maintained across queries.

=item 4.

The optional fourth parameter (-labels) is provided for people who
want to use different values for the user-visible label inside the
popup menu nd the value returned to your script.  It's a pointer to an
associative array relating menu values to user-visible labels.  If you
leave this parameter blank, the menu values will be displayed by
default.  (You can also leave a label undefined if you want to).

=back

When the form is processed, the selected value of the popup menu can
be retrieved using:

      $popup_menu_value = $query->param('menu_name');

JAVASCRIPTING: popup_menu() recognizes the following event handlers:
B<-onChange>, B<-onFocus>, B<-onMouseOver>, B<-onMouseOut>, and
B<-onBlur>.  See the textfield() section for details on when these
handlers are called.

=head2 CREATING A SCROLLING LIST

   print $query->scrolling_list('list_name',

   print $query->scrolling_list(-name=>'list_name',
				-values=>['eenie','meenie','minie','moe'],
				-default=>['eenie','moe'],
				-size=>5,
				-multiple=>'true',
				-labels=>\%labels);

scrolling_list() creates a scrolling list.  

=over 4

=item B<Parameters:>

=item 1.

The first and second arguments are the list name (-name) and values
(-values).  As in the popup menu, the second argument should be an
array reference.

=item 2.

The optional third argument (-default) can be either a reference to a
list containing the values to be selected by default, or can be a
single value to select.  If this argument is missing or undefined,
then nothing is selected when the list first appears.  In the named
parameter version, you can use the synonym "-defaults" for this
parameter.

=item 3.

The optional fourth argument is the size of the list (-size).

=item 4.

The optional fifth argument can be set to true to allow multiple
simultaneous selections (-multiple).  Otherwise only one selection
will be allowed at a time.

=item 5.

The optional sixth argument is a pointer to an associative array
containing long user-visible labels for the list items (-labels).
If not provided, the values will be displayed.

When this form is processed, all selected list items will be returned as
a list under the parameter name 'list_name'.  The values of the
selected items can be retrieved with:

      @selected = $query->param('list_name');

=back

JAVASCRIPTING: scrolling_list() recognizes the following event
handlers: B<-onChange>, B<-onFocus>, B<-onMouseOver>, B<-onMouseOut>
and B<-onBlur>.  See textfield() for the description of when these
handlers are called.

=head2 CREATING A GROUP OF RELATED CHECKBOXES

   print $query->checkbox_group(-name=>'group_name',

   HTML3-COMPATIBLE BROWSERS ONLY:

   print $query->checkbox_group(-name=>'group_name',
				-values=>['eenie','meenie','minie','moe'],
				-rows=2,-columns=>2);


checkbox_group() creates a list of checkboxes that are related
by the same name.

=over 4

=item B<Parameters:>

=item 1.

The first and second arguments are the checkbox name and values,
respectively (-name and -values).  As in the popup menu, the second
argument should be an array reference.  These values are used for the
user-readable labels printed next to the checkboxes as well as for the
values passed to your script in the query string.

=item 2.

The optional third argument (-default) can be either a reference to a
list containing the values to be checked by default, or can be a
single value to checked.  If this argument is missing or undefined,
then nothing is selected when the list first appears.

=item 3.

The optional fourth argument (-linebreak) can be set to true to place
line breaks between the checkboxes so that they appear as a vertical
list.  Otherwise, they will be strung together on a horizontal line.

=item 4.

The optional fifth argument is a pointer to an associative array
relating the checkbox values to the user-visible labels that will
be printed next to them (-labels).  If not provided, the values will
be used as the default.

=item 5.

B<HTML3-compatible browsers> (such as Netscape) can take advantage of
the optional parameters B<-rows>, and B<-columns>.  These parameters
cause checkbox_group() to return an HTML3 compatible table containing
the checkbox group formatted with the specified number of rows and
columns.  You can provide just the -columns parameter if you wish;
checkbox_group will calculate the correct number of rows for you.

To include row and column headings in the returned table, you
can use the B<-rowheaders> and B<-colheaders> parameters.  Both
of these accept a pointer to an array of headings to use.
The headings are just decorative.  They don't reorganize the
interpretation of the checkboxes -- they're still a single named
unit.

=back

When the form is processed, all checked boxes will be returned as
a list under the parameter name 'group_name'.  The values of the
"on" checkboxes can be retrieved with:

      @turned_on = $query->param('group_name');

The value returned by checkbox_group() is actually an array of button
elements.  You can capture them and use them within tables, lists,
or in other creative ways:

    @h = $query->checkbox_group(-name=>'group_name',-values=>\@values);
    &use_in_creative_way(@h);

JAVASCRIPTING: checkbox_group() recognizes the B<-onClick>
parameter.  This specifies a JavaScript code fragment or
function call to be executed every time the user clicks on
any of the buttons in the group.  You can retrieve the identity
of the particular button clicked on using the "this" variable.

=head2 CREATING A STANDALONE CHECKBOX

    print $query->checkbox('checkbox_name','checked','ON','CLICK ME');

checkbox() is used to create an isolated checkbox that isn't logically
related to any others.

=over 4

=item B<Parameters:>

=item 1.

The first parameter is the required name for the checkbox (-name).  It
will also be used for the user-readable label printed next to the
checkbox.

=item 2.

The optional second parameter (-checked) specifies that the checkbox
is turned on by default.  Synonyms are -selected and -on.

=item 3.

The optional third parameter (-value) specifies the value of the
checkbox when it is checked.  If not provided, the word "on" is
assumed.

=item 4.

The optional fourth parameter (-label) is the user-readable label to
be attached to the checkbox.  If not provided, the checkbox name is
used.

=back

The value of the checkbox can be retrieved using:

    $turned_on = $query->param('checkbox_name');

JAVASCRIPTING: checkbox() recognizes the B<-onClick>

radio_group() creates a set of logically-related radio buttons
(turning one member of the group on turns the others off)

=over 4

=item B<Parameters:>

=item 1.

The first argument is the name of the group and is required (-name).

=item 2.

The second argument (-values) is the list of values for the radio

identical.  Pass an array I<reference> in the second argument, either
using an anonymous array, as shown, or by referencing a named array as
in "\@foo".

=item 3.

The optional third parameter (-default) is the name of the default
button to turn on. If not specified, the first item will be the
default.  You can provide a nonexistent button name, such as "-" to
start up with no buttons selected.

=item 4.

The optional fourth parameter (-linebreak) can be set to 'true' to put
line breaks between the buttons, creating a vertical list.

=item 5.

The optional fifth parameter (-labels) is a pointer to an associative
array relating the radio button values to user-visible labels to be
used in the display.  If not provided, the values themselves are
displayed.

=item 6.

B<HTML3-compatible browsers> (such as Netscape) can take advantage

The first argument (-name) is optional.  You can give the button a
name if you have several submission buttons in your form and you want
to distinguish between them.  The name will also be used as the
user-visible label.  Be aware that a few older browsers don't deal with this correctly and
B<never> send back a value from a button.

=item 2.

The second argument (-value) is also optional.  This gives the button
a value that will be passed to your script in the query string.

=back

You can figure out which button was pressed by using different
values for each one:

     $which_one = $query->param('button_name');

JAVASCRIPTING: radio_group() recognizes the B<-onClick>
parameter.  See checkbox_group() for further details.

=head2 CREATING A RESET BUTTON

   print $query->reset

reset() creates the "reset" button.  Note that it restores the
form to its value from the last time the script was called, 
NOT necessarily to the defaults.

Note that this conflicts with the Perl reset() built-in.  Use
CORE::reset() to get the original reset function.

=head2 CREATING A DEFAULT BUTTON

   print $query->defaults('button_label')

defaults() creates a button that, when invoked, will cause the
form to be completely reset to its defaults, wiping out all the
changes the user ever made.

=head2 CREATING A HIDDEN FIELD

	print $query->hidden(-name=>'hidden_name',
			     -default=>['value1','value2'...]);

		-or-

	print $query->hidden('hidden_name','value1','value2'...);

hidden() produces a text field that can't be seen by the user.  It
is useful for passing state variable information from one invocation
of the script to the next.

=over 4

=item B<Parameters:>

=item 1.

The first argument is required and specifies the name of this
field (-name).

=item 2.  

The second argument is also required and specifies its value
(-default).  In the named parameter style of calling, you can provide
a single value here or a reference to a whole list

=back

Fetch the value of a hidden field this way:

     $hidden_value = $query->param('hidden_name');

Note, that just like all the other form elements, the value of a
hidden field is "sticky".  If you want to replace a hidden field with
some other values after the script has been called once you'll have to
do it manually:

     $query->param('hidden_name','new','values','here');

=head2 CREATING A CLICKABLE IMAGE BUTTON

     print $query->image_button(-name=>'button_name',
				-src=>'/source/URL',
				-align=>'MIDDLE');      

	-or-

     print $query->image_button('button_name','/source/URL','MIDDLE');

image_button() produces a clickable image.  When it's clicked on the
position of the click is returned to your script as "button_name.x"
and "button_name.y", where "button_name" is the name you've assigned
to it.

JAVASCRIPTING: image_button() recognizes the B<-onClick>
parameter.  See checkbox_group() for further details.

=over 4

=item B<Parameters:>

=item 1.

The first argument (-name) is required and specifies the name of this
field.

=item 2.

The second argument (-src) is also required and specifies the URL

=item 3.

The third option (-align, optional) is an alignment type, and may be
TOP, BOTTOM or MIDDLE

=back

Fetch the value of the button this way:
     $x = $query->param('button_name.x');
     $y = $query->param('button_name.y');

=head2 CREATING A JAVASCRIPT ACTION BUTTON

     print $query->button(-name=>'button_name',
			  -value=>'user visible label',
			  -onClick=>"do_something()");

	-or-

     print $query->button('button_name',"do_something()");

button() produces a button that is compatible with Netscape 2.0's
JavaScript.  When it's pressed the fragment of JavaScript code
pointed to by the B<-onClick> parameter will be executed.  On
non-Netscape browsers this form element will probably not even
display.

=head1 HTTP COOKIES

Netscape browsers versions 1.1 and higher, and all versions of
Internet Explorer, support a so-called "cookie" designed to help
maintain state within a browser session.  CGI.pm has several methods
that support cookies.

A cookie is a name=value pair much like the named parameters in a CGI
query string.  CGI scripts create one or more cookies and send
them to the browser in the HTTP header.  The browser maintains a list
of cookies that belong to a particular Web server, and returns them
to the CGI script during subsequent interactions.

In addition to the required name=value pair, each cookie has several
optional attributes:

=over 4

=item 1. an expiration time

This is a time/date string (in a special GMT format) that indicates
when a cookie expires.  The cookie will be saved and returned to your
script until this expiration date is reached if the user exits
the browser and restarts it.  If an expiration date isn't specified, the cookie
will remain active until the user quits the browser.

=item 2. a domain

This is a partial or complete domain name for which the cookie is 
valid.  The browser will return the cookie to any host that matches
the partial domain name.  For example, if you specify a domain name
of ".capricorn.com", then the browser will return the cookie to
Web servers running on any of the machines "www.capricorn.com", 
"www2.capricorn.com", "feckless.capricorn.com", etc.  Domain names
must contain at least two periods to prevent attempts to match
on top level domains like ".edu".  If no domain is specified, then
the browser will only return the cookie to servers on the host the
cookie originated from.

=item 3. a path

If you provide a cookie path attribute, the browser will check it
against your script's URL before returning the cookie.  For example,
if you specify the path "/cgi-bin", then the cookie will be returned
to each of the scripts "/cgi-bin/tally.pl", "/cgi-bin/order.pl",
and "/cgi-bin/customer_service/complain.pl", but not to the script
"/cgi-private/site_admin.pl".  By default, path is set to "/", which
causes the cookie to be sent to any CGI script on your site.

=item 4. a "secure" flag

If the "secure" attribute is set, the cookie will only be sent to your
script if the CGI request is occurring on a secure channel, such as SSL.

=back

The interface to HTTP cookies is the B<cookie()> method:

    $cookie = $query->cookie(-name=>'sessionID',
			     -value=>'xyzzy',
			     -expires=>'+1h',
			     -path=>'/cgi-bin/database',
			     -domain=>'.capricorn.org',
			     -secure=>1);
    print $query->header(-cookie=>$cookie);

B<cookie()> creates a new cookie.  Its parameters include:

=over 4

=item B<-name>

The name of the cookie (required).  This can be any string at all.
Although browsers limit their cookie names to non-whitespace
alphanumeric characters, CGI.pm removes this restriction by escaping
and unescaping cookies behind the scenes.

=item B<-value>

The value of the cookie.  This can be any scalar value,
array reference, or even associative array reference.  For example,
you can store an entire associative array into a cookie this way:

	$cookie=$query->cookie(-name=>'family information',
			       -value=>\%childrens_ages);

=item B<-path>

The optional partial path for which this cookie will be valid, as described
above.

=item B<-domain>

The optional partial domain for which this cookie will be valid, as described
above.

=item B<-expires>

The optional expiration date for this cookie.  The format is as described 
in the section on the B<header()> method:

	"+1h"  one hour from now

=item B<-secure>

If set to true, this cookie will only be used within a secure
SSL session.

=back

The cookie created by cookie() must be incorporated into the HTTP
header within the string returned by the header() method:

	print $query->header(-cookie=>$my_cookie);

To create multiple cookies, give header() an array reference:

	$cookie1 = $query->cookie(-name=>'riddle_name',
				  -value=>"The Sphynx's Question");
	$cookie2 = $query->cookie(-name=>'answers',
				  -value=>\%answers);
	print $query->header(-cookie=>[$cookie1,$cookie2]);

To retrieve a cookie, request it by name by calling cookie() method
without the B<-value> parameter:

	use CGI;
	$query = new CGI;
	$riddle = $query->cookie('riddle_name');
        %answers = $query->cookie('answers');

Cookies created with a single scalar value, such as the "riddle_name"
cookie, will be returned in that form.  Cookies with array and hash
values can also be retrieved.

The cookie and CGI namespaces are separate.  If you have a parameter
named 'answers' and a cookie named 'answers', the values retrieved by
param() and cookie() are independent of each other.  However, it's
simple to turn a CGI parameter into a cookie, and vice-versa:

   # turn a CGI parameter into a cookie
   $c=$q->cookie(-name=>'answers',-value=>[$q->param('answers')]);
   # vice-versa
   $q->param(-name=>'answers',-value=>[$q->cookie('answers')]);

See the B<cookie.cgi> example script for some ideas on how to use
cookies effectively.

=head1 WORKING WITH FRAMES

It's possible for CGI.pm scripts to write into several browser panels
and windows using the HTML 4 frame mechanism.  There are three
techniques for defining new frames programmatically:

=over 4

=item 1. Create a <Frameset> document

After writing out the HTTP header, instead of creating a standard
HTML document using the start_html() call, create a <frameset> 
document that defines the frames on the page.  Specify your script(s)
(with appropriate parameters) as the SRC for each of the frames.

There is no specific support for creating <frameset> sections 
in CGI.pm, but the HTML is very simple to write.  See the frame
documentation in Netscape's home pages for details 

  http://home.netscape.com/assist/net_sites/frames.html

=item 2. Specify the destination for the document in the HTTP header

You may provide a B<-target> parameter to the header() method:

    print $q->header(-target=>'ResultsWindow');

This will tell the browser to load the output of your script into the
frame named "ResultsWindow".  If a frame of that name doesn't already
exist, the browser will pop up a new window and load your script's
document into that.  There are a number of magic names that you can
use for targets.  See the frame documents on Netscape's home pages for
details.

=item 3. Specify the destination for the document in the <form> tag

You can specify the frame to load in the FORM tag itself.  With
CGI.pm it looks like this:

    print $q->start_form(-target=>'ResultsWindow');

When your script is reinvoked by the form, its output will be loaded
into the frame named "ResultsWindow".  If one doesn't already exist
a new window will be created.

=back

The script "frameset.cgi" in the examples directory shows one way to
create pages in which the fill-out form and the response live in
side-by-side frames.

=head1 LIMITED SUPPORT FOR CASCADING STYLE SHEETS

CGI.pm has limited support for HTML3's cascading style sheets (css).
To incorporate a stylesheet into your document, pass the
start_html() method a B<-style> parameter.  The value of this
parameter may be a scalar, in which case it is incorporated directly
into a <style> section, or it may be a hash reference.  In the latter
case you should provide the hash with one or more of B<-src> or
B<-code>.  B<-src> points to a URL where an externally-defined
stylesheet can be found.  B<-code> points to a scalar value to be
incorporated into a <style> section.  Style definitions in B<-code>
override similarly-named ones in B<-src>, hence the name "cascading."

You may also specify the type of the stylesheet by adding the optional
B<-type> parameter to the hash pointed to by B<-style>.  If not
specified, the style defaults to 'text/css'.

To refer to a style within the body of your document, add the
B<-class> parameter to any HTML element:

    print h1({-class=>'Fancy'},'Welcome to the Party');

Or define styles on the fly with the B<-style> parameter:

    print h1({-style=>'Color: red;'},'Welcome to Hell');

You may also use the new B<span()> element to apply a style to a
section of text:

    print span({-style=>'Color: red;'},
	       h1('Welcome to Hell'),
	       "Where did that handbasket get to?"
	       );

Note that you must import the ":html3" definitions to have the
B<span()> method available.  Here's a quick and dirty example of using
CSS's.  See the CSS specification at
http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR/Wd-css-1.html for more information.

    use CGI qw/:standard :html3/;

    #here's a stylesheet incorporated directly into the page
    $newStyle=<<END;
    <!-- 
    P.Tip {
	margin-right: 50pt;
	margin-left: 50pt;
        color: red;
    }
    P.Alert {
	font-size: 30pt;
        font-family: sans-serif;
      color: red;
    }
    -->
    END
    print header();
    print start_html( -title=>'CGI with Style',
		      -style=>{-src=>'http://www.capricorn.com/style/st1.css',
		               -code=>$newStyle}
	             );
    print h1('CGI with Style'),
          p({-class=>'Tip'},
	    "Better read the cascading style sheet spec before playing with this!"),
          span({-style=>'color: magenta'},
	       "Look Mom, no hands!",
	       p(),
	       "Whooo wee!"
	       );
    print end_html;

Pass an array reference to B<-style> in order to incorporate multiple
stylesheets into your document.

=head1 DEBUGGING

If you are running the script from the command line or in the perl
debugger, you can pass the script a list of keywords or
parameter=value pairs on the command line or from standard input (you
don't have to worry about tricking your script into reading from
environment variables).  You can pass keywords like this:

    your_script.pl keyword1 keyword2 keyword3

or this:

   your_script.pl keyword1+keyword2+keyword3

or this:

    your_script.pl name1=value1 name2=value2

or this:

    your_script.pl name1=value1&name2=value2

To turn off this feature, use the -no_debug pragma.

To test the POST method, you may enable full debugging with the -debug
pragma.  This will allow you to feed newline-delimited name=value
pairs to the script on standard input.

When debugging, you can use quotes and backslashes to escape 
characters in the familiar shell manner, letting you place
spaces and other funny characters in your parameter=value
pairs:

   your_script.pl "name1='I am a long value'" "name2=two\ words"

=head2 DUMPING OUT ALL THE NAME/VALUE PAIRS

The Dump() method produces a string consisting of all the query's
name/value pairs formatted nicely as a nested list.  This is useful
for debugging purposes:

    print $query->Dump


Produces something that looks like:

    <ul>
    <li>name1
	<ul>
	<li>value1
	<li>value2
	</ul>
    <li>name2
	<ul>
	<li>value1
	</ul>
    </ul>

As a shortcut, you can interpolate the entire CGI object into a string
and it will be replaced with the a nice HTML dump shown above:

    $query=new CGI;
    print "<h2>Current Values</h2> $query\n";

=head1 FETCHING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

Some of the more useful environment variables can be fetched
through this interface.  The methods are as follows:

=over 4

=item B<Accept()>

Return a list of MIME types that the remote browser accepts. If you
give this method a single argument corresponding to a MIME type, as in
$query->Accept('text/html'), it will return a floating point value
corresponding to the browser's preference for this type from 0.0
(don't want) to 1.0.  Glob types (e.g. text/*) in the browser's accept
list are handled correctly.

Note that the capitalization changed between version 2.43 and 2.44 in
order to avoid conflict with Perl's accept() function.

=item B<raw_cookie()>

Returns the HTTP_COOKIE variable, an HTTP extension implemented by
Netscape browsers version 1.1 and higher, and all versions of Internet
Explorer.  Cookies have a special format, and this method call just
returns the raw form (?cookie dough).  See cookie() for ways of
setting and retrieving cooked cookies.

Called with no parameters, raw_cookie() returns the packed cookie
structure.  You can separate it into individual cookies by splitting
on the character sequence "; ".  Called with the name of a cookie,
retrieves the B<unescaped> form of the cookie.  You can use the
regular cookie() method to get the names, or use the raw_fetch()
method from the CGI::Cookie module.

=item B<user_agent()>

Returns the HTTP_USER_AGENT variable.  If you give
this method a single argument, it will attempt to
pattern match on it, allowing you to do something
like $query->user_agent(netscape);

=item B<path_info()>

Returns additional path information from the script URL.
E.G. fetching /cgi-bin/your_script/additional/stuff will result in
$query->path_info() returning "/additional/stuff".

NOTE: The Microsoft Internet Information Server
is broken with respect to additional path information.  If
you use the Perl DLL library, the IIS server will attempt to
execute the additional path information as a Perl script.
If you use the ordinary file associations mapping, the
path information will be present in the environment, 
but incorrect.  The best thing to do is to avoid using additional
path information in CGI scripts destined for use with IIS.

=item B<path_translated()>

As per path_info() but returns the additional
path information translated into a physical path, e.g.
"/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/additional/stuff".

The Microsoft IIS is broken with respect to the translated
path as well.

=item B<remote_host()>

Returns either the remote host name or IP address.
if the former is unavailable.

=item B<script_name()>

Return the script name as a partial URL, for self-refering
scripts.

=item B<referer()>

Return the URL of the page the browser was viewing
prior to fetching your script.  Not available for all
browsers.

=item B<auth_type ()>

Return the authorization/verification method in use for this
script, if any.

=item B<server_name ()>

Returns the name of the server, usually the machine's host
name.

=item B<virtual_host ()>

When using virtual hosts, returns the name of the host that
the browser attempted to contact

=item B<server_port ()>

Return the port that the server is listening on.

=item B<server_software ()>

Returns the server software and version number.

=item B<remote_user ()>

Return the authorization/verification name used for user
verification, if this script is protected.

=item B<user_name ()>

Attempt to obtain the remote user's name, using a variety of different
techniques.  This only works with older browsers such as Mosaic.
Newer browsers do not report the user name for privacy reasons!

=item B<request_method()>

Returns the method used to access your script, usually
one of 'POST', 'GET' or 'HEAD'.

=item B<content_type()>

Returns the content_type of data submitted in a POST, generally 
multipart/form-data or application/x-www-form-urlencoded

=item B<http()>

Called with no arguments returns the list of HTTP environment
variables, including such things as HTTP_USER_AGENT,
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, and HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET, corresponding to the
like-named HTTP header fields in the request.  Called with the name of
an HTTP header field, returns its value.  Capitalization and the use
of hyphens versus underscores are not significant.

For example, all three of these examples are equivalent:

   $requested_language = $q->http('Accept-language');
   $requested_language = $q->http('Accept_language');
   $requested_language = $q->http('HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE');

=item B<https()>

The same as I<http()>, but operates on the HTTPS environment variables
present when the SSL protocol is in effect.  Can be used to determine
whether SSL is turned on.

=back

=head1 USING NPH SCRIPTS

NPH, or "no-parsed-header", scripts bypass the server completely by
sending the complete HTTP header directly to the browser.  This has
slight performance benefits, but is of most use for taking advantage
of HTTP extensions that are not directly supported by your server,
such as server push and PICS headers.

Servers use a variety of conventions for designating CGI scripts as
NPH.  Many Unix servers look at the beginning of the script's name for
the prefix "nph-".  The Macintosh WebSTAR server and Microsoft's
Internet Information Server, in contrast, try to decide whether a
program is an NPH script by examining the first line of script output.


CGI.pm supports NPH scripts with a special NPH mode.  When in this
mode, CGI.pm will output the necessary extra header information when
the header() and redirect() methods are
called.

The Microsoft Internet Information Server requires NPH mode.  As of
version 2.30, CGI.pm will automatically detect when the script is
running under IIS and put itself into this mode.  You do not need to
do this manually, although it won't hurt anything if you do.  However,
note that if you have applied Service Pack 6, much of the
functionality of NPH scripts, including the ability to redirect while
setting a cookie, b<do not work at all> on IIS without a special patch
from Microsoft.  See
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q280/3/41.ASP:
Non-Parsed Headers Stripped From CGI Applications That Have nph-
Prefix in Name.

=over 4

=item In the B<use> statement 

Simply add the "-nph" pragmato the list of symbols to be imported into
your script:

      use CGI qw(:standard -nph)

=item By calling the B<nph()> method:

Call B<nph()> with a non-zero parameter at any point after using CGI.pm in your program.

      CGI->nph(1)

=item By using B<-nph> parameters

in the B<header()> and B<redirect()>  statements:

      print $q->header(-nph=>1);

=back

=head1 Server Push

CGI.pm provides four simple functions for producing multipart
documents of the type needed to implement server push.  These
functions were graciously provided by Ed Jordan <ed@fidalgo.net>.  To
import these into your namespace, you must import the ":push" set.
You are also advised to put the script into NPH mode and to set $| to
1 to avoid buffering problems.

Here is a simple script that demonstrates server push:

  #!/usr/local/bin/perl
  use CGI qw/:push -nph/;
  $| = 1;
  print multipart_init(-boundary=>'----here we go!');
  foreach (0 .. 4) {
      print multipart_start(-type=>'text/plain'),
            "The current time is ",scalar(localtime),"\n";
      if ($_ < 4) {
              print multipart_end;
      } else {
              print multipart_final;
      }
      sleep 1;
  }

This script initializes server push by calling B<multipart_init()>.
It then enters a loop in which it begins a new multipart section by
calling B<multipart_start()>, prints the current local time,
and ends a multipart section with B<multipart_end()>.  It then sleeps
a second, and begins again. On the final iteration, it ends the
multipart section with B<multipart_final()> rather than with
B<multipart_end()>.

=over 4

=item multipart_init()

  multipart_init(-boundary=>$boundary);

Initialize the multipart system.  The -boundary argument specifies
what MIME boundary string to use to separate parts of the document.
If not provided, CGI.pm chooses a reasonable boundary for you.

=item multipart_start()

  multipart_start(-type=>$type)

Start a new part of the multipart document using the specified MIME
type.  If not specified, text/html is assumed.

=item multipart_end()

  multipart_end()

End a part.  You must remember to call multipart_end() once for each
multipart_start(), except at the end of the last part of the multipart
document when multipart_final() should be called instead of multipart_end().

=item multipart_final()

  multipart_final()

End all parts.  You should call multipart_final() rather than
multipart_end() at the end of the last part of the multipart document.

=back

Users interested in server push applications should also have a look
at the CGI::Push module.

Only Netscape Navigator supports server push.  Internet Explorer
browsers do not.

=head1 Avoiding Denial of Service Attacks

A potential problem with CGI.pm is that, by default, it attempts to
process form POSTings no matter how large they are.  A wily hacker
could attack your site by sending a CGI script a huge POST of many
megabytes.  CGI.pm will attempt to read the entire POST into a
variable, growing hugely in size until it runs out of memory.  While
the script attempts to allocate the memory the system may slow down
dramatically.  This is a form of denial of service attack.

Another possible attack is for the remote user to force CGI.pm to
accept a huge file upload.  CGI.pm will accept the upload and store it
in a temporary directory even if your script doesn't expect to receive
an uploaded file.  CGI.pm will delete the file automatically when it
terminates, but in the meantime the remote user may have filled up the
server's disk space, causing problems for other programs.

The best way to avoid denial of service attacks is to limit the amount
of memory, CPU time and disk space that CGI scripts can use.  Some Web
servers come with built-in facilities to accomplish this. In other
cases, you can use the shell I<limit> or I<ulimit>
commands to put ceilings on CGI resource usage.


CGI.pm also has some simple built-in protections against denial of
service attacks, but you must activate them before you can use them.
These take the form of two global variables in the CGI name space:

=over 4

=item B<$CGI::POST_MAX>

If set to a non-negative integer, this variable puts a ceiling
on the size of POSTings, in bytes.  If CGI.pm detects a POST
that is greater than the ceiling, it will immediately exit with an error
message.  This value will affect both ordinary POSTs and
multipart POSTs, meaning that it limits the maximum size of file
uploads as well.  You should set this to a reasonably high
value, such as 1 megabyte.

=item B<$CGI::DISABLE_UPLOADS>

If set to a non-zero value, this will disable file uploads
completely.  Other fill-out form values will work as usual.

=back

You can use these variables in either of two ways.

=over 4

=item B<1. On a script-by-script basis>

Set the variable at the top of the script, right after the "use" statement:

    use CGI qw/:standard/;
    use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
    $CGI::POST_MAX=1024 * 100;  # max 100K posts
    $CGI::DISABLE_UPLOADS = 1;  # no uploads

=item B<2. Globally for all scripts>

Open up CGI.pm, find the definitions for $POST_MAX and 
$DISABLE_UPLOADS, and set them to the desired values.  You'll 
find them towards the top of the file in a subroutine named 
initialize_globals().

=back

An attempt to send a POST larger than $POST_MAX bytes will cause
I<param()> to return an empty CGI parameter list.  You can test for
this event by checking I<cgi_error()>, either after you create the CGI
object or, if you are using the function-oriented interface, call
<param()> for the first time.  If the POST was intercepted, then
cgi_error() will return the message "413 POST too large".

This error message is actually defined by the HTTP protocol, and is
designed to be returned to the browser as the CGI script's status
 code.  For example:

   $uploaded_file = param('upload');
   if (!$uploaded_file && cgi_error()) {
      print header(-status=>cgi_error());
      exit 0;
   }

However it isn't clear that any browser currently knows what to do
with this status code.  It might be better just to create an
HTML page that warns the user of the problem.

=head1 COMPATIBILITY WITH CGI-LIB.PL

To make it easier to port existing programs that use cgi-lib.pl the
compatibility routine "ReadParse" is provided.  Porting is simple:

OLD VERSION
    require "cgi-lib.pl";
    &ReadParse;
    print "The value of the antique is $in{antique}.\n";

NEW VERSION
    use CGI;
    CGI::ReadParse
    print "The value of the antique is $in{antique}.\n";

CGI.pm's ReadParse() routine creates a tied variable named %in,
which can be accessed to obtain the query variables.  Like
ReadParse, you can also provide your own variable.  Infrequently
used features of ReadParse, such as the creation of @in and $in 
variables, are not supported.

Once you use ReadParse, you can retrieve the query object itself
this way:

    $q = $in{CGI};
    print $q->textfield(-name=>'wow',
			-value=>'does this really work?');

This allows you to start using the more interesting features
of CGI.pm without rewriting your old scripts from scratch.

=head1 BUGS

This module has grown large and monolithic.  Furthermore it's doing many
things, such as handling URLs, parsing CGI input, writing HTML, etc., that
are also done in the LWP modules. It should be discarded in favor of
the CGI::* modules, but somehow I continue to work on it.

Note that the code is truly contorted in order to avoid spurious
warnings when programs are run with the B<-w> switch.
