=head1 NAME

Catalyst::Engine::CGI - The CGI Engine

=head1 SYNOPSIS

A script using the Catalyst::Engine::CGI module might look like:

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

    use strict;
    use lib '/path/to/MyApp/lib';
    use MyApp;

    MyApp->run;

The application module (C<MyApp>) would use C<Catalyst>, which loads the
appropriate engine module.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is the Catalyst engine specialized for the CGI environment (using the
C<CGI::Simple> and C<CGI::Cookie> modules).  Normally Catalyst will select the
appropriate engine according to the environment that it detects, however you
can force Catalyst to use the CGI engine by specifying the following in your
application module:

    use Catalyst qw(-Engine=CGI);

Catalyst::Engine::CGI generates a full set of HTTP headers, which means that
applications using the engine must be be configured as "Non-parsed Headers"
scripts (at least when running under Apache).  To configure this under Apache
name the starting with C<nph->.

The performance of this way of using Catalyst is not expected to be
useful in production applications, but it may be helpful for development.
