43 In your .conf, configure which environment variables to pass:
47 username_field username # used for REMOTE_USER env var
57 Allows you to run Perl code in a CGI environment derived from your L<Catalyst>
60 B<*WARNING*>: do not export L<CGI> functions into a Controller, it will break
61 with L<Catalyst> 5.8 onward.
63 If you just want to run CGIs from files, see L<Catalyst::Controller::CGIBin>.
67 C<< $your_controller->{CGI}{pass_env} >> should be an array of environment variables
68 or regular expressions to pass through to your CGIs. Entries surrounded by C</>
69 characters are considered regular expressions.
71 C<< $your_controller->{CGI}{kill_env} >> should be an array of environment
72 variables or regular expressions to remove from the environment before passing
73 it to your CGIs. Entries surrounded by C</> characters are considered regular
76 Default is to pass the whole of C<%ENV>, except for C<MOD_PERL> (that is, the
77 default C<kill_env> is C<[ 'MOD_PERL' ]>.
79 C<< $your_controller->{CGI}{username_field} >> should be the field for your user's name, which will be
80 read from C<< $c->user->obj >>. Defaults to 'username'.
82 See L</SYNOPSIS> for an example.
86 # Hack-around because Catalyst::Engine::HTTP goes and changes
87 # them to be the remote socket, and FCGI.pm does even dumber things.

94 =head2 $self->cgi_to_response($c, $coderef)
96 Does the magic of running $coderef in a CGI environment, and populating the
97 appropriate parts of your Catalyst context with the results.

127 The CGI environment is set up based on $c.
129 The environment variables to pass on are taken from the configuration for your
130 Controller, see L</SYNOPSIS> for an example. If you don't supply a list of
131 environment variables to pass, the whole of %ENV is used.
