SYNOPSIS
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.
