Package: libcgi-pm-perl (3.38-2)

Simple Common Gateway Interface Class

CGI.pm 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 is included in core perl-modules. Use libcgi-pm-perl only for special updates like the use of POSTDATA.
