NAME
       AppConfig::CGI - Perl5 module for processing CGI script parameters.

SYNOPSIS
           use AppConfig::CGI;

           my $state = AppConfig::State->new(\%cfg);
           my $cgi   = AppConfig::CGI->new($state);

           $cgi->parse($cgi_query);
           $cgi->parse();               # looks for CGI query in environment

OVERVIEW
       AppConfig::CGI is a Perl5 module which implements a CGI interface to
       AppConfig.  It examines the QUERY_STRING environment variable, or a
       string passed explicitly by parameter, which represents the additional
       parameters passed to a CGI query.  This is then used to update variable
       values in an AppConfig::State object accordingly.

       AppConfig::CGI is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle.

DESCRIPTION
       USING THE AppConfig::CGI MODULE

       To import and use the AppConfig::CGI module the following line should
       appear in your Perl script:

           use AppConfig::CGI;

       AppConfig::CGI is used automatically if you use the AppConfig module
       and create an AppConfig::CGI object through the cgi() method.  AppCon-
       fig::CGI is implemented using object-oriented methods.  A new AppCon-
       fig::CGI object is created and initialised using the new() method.
       This returns a reference to a new AppConfig::CGI object.  A reference
       to an AppConfig::State object should be passed in as the first parame-
       ter:

           my $state = AppConfig::State->new();
           my $cgi   = AppConfig::CGI->new($state);

       This will create and return a reference to a new AppConfig::CGI object.

       PARSING CGI QUERIES

       The "parse()" method is used to parse a CGI query which can be speci-
       fied explicitly, or is automatically extracted from the "QUERY_STRING"
       CGI environment variable.  This currently limits the module to only
       supporting the GET method.

       See AppConfig for information about using the AppConfig::CGI module via
       the cgi() method.
