NAME
       Template::Plugin::CGI - Interface to the CGI module

SYNOPSIS
	   [% USE CGI %]
	   [% CGI.param(’parameter’) %]

	   [% USE things = CGI %]
	   [% things.param(’name’) %]

	   # see CGI docs for other methods provided by the CGI object

DESCRIPTION
       This is a very simple Template Toolkit Plugin interface to the "CGI"
       module.	A "CGI" object will be instantiated via the following direc-
       tive:

	   [% USE CGI %]

       "CGI" methods may then be called as follows:

	   [% CGI.header %]
	   [% CGI.param(’parameter’) %]

       An alias can be used to provide an alternate name by which the object
       should be identified.

	   [% USE mycgi = CGI %]
	   [% mycgi.start_form %]
	   [% mycgi.popup_menu({ Name	=> ’Color’
				 Values => [ ’Green’ ’Black’ ’Brown’ ] }) %]

       Parenthesised parameters to the "USE" directive will be passed to the
       plugin constructor:

	   [% USE cgiprm = CGI(’uid=abw&name=Andy+Wardley’) %]
	   [% cgiprm.param(’uid’) %]

METHODS
       In addition to all the methods supported by the "CGI" module, this
       plugin defines the following.

       params()

       This method returns a reference to a hash of all the "CGI" parameters.
       Any parameters that have multiple values will be returned as lists.

	   [% USE CGI(’user=abw&item=foo&item=bar’) %]
	   [% CGI.params.user %]	    # abw
	   [% CGI.params.item.join(’, ’) %] # foo, bar
