17 Catalyst::Engine::CGI - The CGI Engine
21 A script using the Catalyst::Engine::CGI module might look like:
26 use lib '/path/to/MyApp/lib';
31 The application module (C<MyApp>) would use C<Catalyst>, which loads the
32 appropriate engine module.
36 This is the Catalyst engine specialized for the CGI environment (using the
37 C<CGI::Simple> and C<CGI::Cookie> modules). Normally Catalyst will select the
38 appropriate engine according to the environment that it detects, however you
39 can force Catalyst to use the CGI engine by specifying the following in your
42 use Catalyst qw(-Engine=CGI);
44 Catalyst::Engine::CGI generates a full set of HTTP headers, which means that
45 applications using the engine must be be configured as "Non-parsed Headers"
46 scripts (at least when running under Apache). To configure this under Apache
47 name the starting with C<nph->.
49 The performance of this way of using Catalyst is not expected to be
50 useful in production applications, but it may be helpful for development.
58 This config parameter contains the C<CGI::Simple> object.
