NAME¶
CGI::XML - Perl extension for converting CGI.pm variables to/from XML
SYNOPSIS¶
use CGI::XML;
$q = new CGI::XML;
# convert CGI.pm variables to XML
$xml = $q->toXML;
$xml = $q->toXML($root);
# convert XML to CGI.pm variables
$q->toCGI($xml);
DESCRIPTION¶
The CGI::XML module converts CGI.pm variables to XML and vice versa.
CGI::XML is a subclass of CGI.pm, so it reads the
CGI variables just as CGI.pm would.
METHODS¶
- $q = new CGI::XML
- creates a new instance of CGI::XML. You also have access to all of the
methods in CGI.pm.
- $q->toXML([$root])
- where $root is an optional parameter that specifies
the root element. By default, toXML will not return a root
element.
- $q->toCGI($xml)
- where $xml is the XML you would like to convert to
CGI.pm parameters. Values in the XML will overwrite any existing values if
they exist.
NOTE¶
CGI::XML does not currently handle multiple selections passed from HTML
forms. This will be added in a future release.
