NAME¶
CGI::XML - Perl extension for converting CGI.pm variables to/from XMLSYNOPSIS¶
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.AUTHOR¶
