.SH "NAME"
CGI::PSGI \- Adapt CGI.pm to the PSGI protocol
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\&  use CGI::PSGI;
\&
\&  my $app = sub {
\&      my $env = shift;
\&      my $q = CGI::PSGI\->new($env);
\&      return [ $q\->psgi_header, [ $body ] ];
\&  };
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module is for web application framework developers who currently uses
\&\s-1CGI\s0 to handle query parameters, and would like for the frameworks to comply
with the \s-1PSGI\s0 protocol.
.PP
Only slight modifications should be required if the framework is already
collecting the body content to print to \s-1STDOUT\s0 at one place (rather using
the print-as-you-go approach).
.PP
On the other hand, if you are an \*(L"end user\*(R" of \s-1CGI\s0.pm and have a \s-1CGI\s0 script
that you want to run under \s-1PSGI\s0 web servers, this module might not be what you
want.  Take a look at CGI::Emulate::PSGI instead.
.PP
Your application, typically the web application framework adapter
should update the code to do \f(CW\*(C`CGI::PSGI\->new($env)\*(C'\fR instead of
\&\f(CW\*(C`CGI\->new\*(C'\fR to create a new \s-1CGI\s0 object. (This is similar to how
CGI::Fast object is initialized in a FastCGI environment.)
.SH "INTERFACES SUPPORTED"
.IX Header "INTERFACES SUPPORTED"
Only the object-oriented interface of \s-1CGI\s0.pm is supported through \s-1CGI::PSGI.\s0
This means you should always create an object with \f(CW\*(C`CGI::PSGI\->new($env)\*(C'\fR
and should call methods on the object.
.PP
The function-based interface like \f(CW\*(C`use CGI \*(Aq:standard\*(Aq\*(C'\fR does not work with this module.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
\&\s-1CGI::PSGI\s0 adds the following extra methods to \s-1CGI\s0.pm:
.SS "env"
.IX Subsection "env"
.Vb 1
\&  $env = $cgi\->env;
.Ve
.PP
Returns the \s-1PSGI\s0 environment in a hash reference. This allows \s-1CGI\s0.pm\-based
application frameworks such as CGI::Application to access \s-1PSGI\s0 extensions,
typically set by Plack Middleware components.
.PP
So if you enable Plack::Middleware::Session, your application and
plugin developers can access the session via:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  $cgi\->env\->{\*(Aqplack.session\*(Aq}\->get("foo");
.Ve
.PP
Of course this should be coded carefully by checking the existence of
\&\f(CW\*(C`env\*(C'\fR method as well as the hash key \f(CW\*(C`plack.session\*(C'\fR.
.SS "psgi_header"
.IX Subsection "psgi_header"
.Vb 1
\& my ($status_code, $headers_aref) = $cgi\->psgi_header(%args);
.Ve
.PP
Works like \s-1CGI\s0.pm's \fBheader()\fR, but the return format is modified. It returns
an array with the status code and arrayref of header pairs that \s-1PSGI\s0
requires.
.PP
If your application doesn't use \f(CW\*(C`$cgi\->header\*(C'\fR, you can ignore this
method and generate the status code and headers arrayref another way.
.SS "psgi_redirect"
.IX Subsection "psgi_redirect"
.Vb 1
\& my ($status_code, $headers_aref) = $cgi\->psgi_redirect(%args);
.Ve
.PP
Works like \s-1CGI\s0.pm's \fBredirect()\fR, but the return format is modified. It
returns an array with the status code and arrayref of header pairs that \s-1PSGI\s0
requires.
.PP
If your application doesn't use \f(CW\*(C`$cgi\->redirect\*(C'\fR, you can ignore this
method and generate the status code and headers arrayref another way.
.SH "LIMITATIONS"
.IX Header "LIMITATIONS"
Do not use CGI::Pretty or something similar in your controller. The
module messes up \s-1CGI\s0's \s-1DIY\s0 autoloader and breaks \s-1CGI::PSGI\s0 (and
potentially other) inheritance.
