Catalyst::Controller::CGIBin - Serve CGIs from root/cgi-bin

SYNOPSIS

Top

In your controller:

    package MyApp::Controller::Foo;

    use parent qw/Catalyst::Controller::CGIBin/;

In your .conf:

    <Controller::Foo>
        cgi_root_path    cgi-bin
        cgi_dir          cgi-bin
        cgi_chain_root   /optional/private/path/to/Chained/root
        cgi_file_pattern *.cgi
        # or regex
        cgi_file_pattern /\.pl\z/
        <CGI>
            username_field username # used for REMOTE_USER env var
            pass_env PERL5LIB
            pass_env PATH
            pass_env /^MYAPP_/
        </CGI>
    </Controller::Foo>

DESCRIPTION

Top

Dispatches to CGI files in root/cgi-bin for /cgi-bin/ paths.

Unlike ModPerl::Registry this module does _NOT_ stat and recompile the CGI for every invocation. This may be supported in the future if there's interest.

CGI paths are converted into action names using cgi_action.

Inherits from Catalyst::Controller::WrapCGI, see the documentation for that module for other configuration information.

CONFIG PARAMS

Top

cgi_root_path

The global URI path prefix for CGIs, defaults to cgi-bin.

cgi_chain_root

By default Path actions are created for CGIs, but if you specify this option, the actions will be created as Chained end-points, chaining off the specified private path.

If this option is used, the cgi_root_path option is ignored. The root path will be determined by your chain.

The PathPart of the action will be the path to the CGI file.

cgi_dir

Path from which to read CGI files. Can be relative to $MYAPP_HOME/root or absolute. Defaults to $MYAPP_HOME/root/cgi-bin.

cgi_file_pattern

By default all files in cgi_dir will be loaded as CGIs, however, with this option you can specify either a glob or a regex to match the names of files you want to be loaded.

Can be an array of globs/regexes as well.

METHODS

Top

cgi_action

$self->cgi_action($cgi)

Takes a path to a CGI from root/cgi-bin such as foo/bar.cgi and returns the action name it is registered as.

cgi_path

$self->cgi_path($cgi)

Takes a path to a CGI from root/cgi-bin such as foo/bar.cgi and returns the public path it should be registered under.

The default is to prefix with $cgi_root_path/, using the cgi_root_path config setting, above.

is_perl_cgi

$self->is_perl_cgi($path)

Tries to figure out whether the CGI is Perl or not.

If it's Perl, it will be inlined into a sub instead of being forked off, see wrap_perl_cgi.

wrap_perl_cgi

$self->wrap_perl_cgi($path, $action_name)

Takes the path to a Perl CGI and returns a coderef suitable for passing to cgi_to_response (from Catalyst::Controller::WrapCGI) using CGI::Compile.

$action_name is the generated name for the action representing the CGI file from cgi_action.

This is similar to how ModPerl::Registry works, but will only work for well-written CGIs. Otherwise, you may have to override this method to do something more involved (see ModPerl::PerlRun.)

Scripts with __DATA__ sections now work too, as well as scripts that call exit().

cgi_package

$self->cgi_package($action_name)

Returns the package name a Perl CGI is compiled into for a given $action_name.

wrap_nonperl_cgi

$self->wrap_nonperl_cgi($path, $action_name)

Takes the path to a non-Perl CGI and returns a coderef for executing it.

$action_name is the generated name for the action representing the CGI file.

By default returns something like:

    sub { system $path }
