Catalyst::Controller::WrapCGI - Run CGIs in Catalyst

SYNOPSIS

Top

    package MyApp::Controller::Foo;

    use parent qw/Catalyst::Controller::WrapCGI/;
    use CGI ();

    sub hello : Path('cgi-bin/hello.cgi') {
        my ($self, $c) = @_;

        $self->cgi_to_response($c, sub {
            my $q = CGI->new;
            print $q->header, $q->start_html('Hello'),
                $q->h1('Catalyst Rocks!'),
                $q->end_html;
        });
    }

In your .conf, configure which environment variables to pass:

    <Controller::Foo>
        <CGI>
            username_field username # used for REMOTE_USER env var
            pass_env PERL5LIB
            pass_env PATH
            pass_env /^MYAPP_/
            kill_env MYAPP_BAD
        </CGI>
    </Controller::Foo>

DESCRIPTION

Top

Allows you to run Perl code in a CGI environment derived from your Catalyst context.

*WARNING*: do not export CGI functions into a Controller, it will break with Catalyst 5.8 onward.

If you just want to run CGIs from files, see Catalyst::Controller::CGIBin.

REMOTE_USER will be set to $c->user->obj->$username_field if available, or to $c->req->remote_user otherwise.

CONFIGURATION

Top

pass_env

$your_controller->{CGI}{pass_env} should be an array of environment variables or regular expressions to pass through to your CGIs. Entries surrounded by / characters are considered regular expressions.

kill_env

$your_controller->{CGI}{kill_env} should be an array of environment variables or regular expressions to remove from the environment before passing it to your CGIs. Entries surrounded by / characters are considered regular expressions.

Default is to pass the whole of %ENV, except for entries listed in FILTERED ENVIRONMENT below.

username_field

$your_controller->{CGI}{username_field} should be the field for your user's name, which will be read from $c->user->obj. Defaults to 'username'.

See SYNOPSIS for an example.

METHODS

Top

cgi_to_response

$self->cgi_to_response($c, $coderef)

Does the magic of running $coderef in a CGI environment, and populating the appropriate parts of your Catalyst context with the results.

Calls wrap_cgi.

wrap_cgi

$self->wrap_cgi($c, $coderef)

Runs $coderef in a CGI environment using HTTP::Request::AsCGI, returns an HTTP::Response.

The CGI environment is set up based on $c.

The environment variables to pass on are taken from the configuration for your Controller, see SYNOPSIS for an example. If you don't supply a list of environment variables to pass, the whole of %ENV is used (with exceptions listed in FILTERED ENVIRONMENT.

Used by cgi_to_response, which is probably what you want to use as well.

FILTERED ENVIRONMENT

Top

If you don't use the pass_env option to restrict which environment variables are passed in, the default is to pass the whole of %ENV except the variables listed below.

  MOD_PERL
  SERVER_SOFTWARE
  SERVER_NAME
  GATEWAY_INTERFACE
  SERVER_PROTOCOL
  SERVER_PORT
  REQUEST_METHOD
  PATH_INFO
  PATH_TRANSLATED
  SCRIPT_NAME
  QUERY_STRING
  REMOTE_HOST
  REMOTE_ADDR
  AUTH_TYPE
  REMOTE_USER
  REMOTE_IDENT
  CONTENT_TYPE
  CONTENT_LENGTH
  HTTP_ACCEPT
  HTTP_USER_AGENT

%ENV can be further trimmed using kill_env.

DIRECT SOCKET/NPH SCRIPTS

Top

This currently won't work:

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    use CGI ':standard';

    $| = 1;

    print header;

    for (0..1000) {
        print $_, br, "\n";
        sleep 1;
    }

because the coderef is executed synchronously with STDOUT pointing to a temp file.
