Pod::Usage::CGI - generate usage message for CGI scripts

	use CGI;
	use Pod::Usage::CGI;

	#Message is HTML-escaped
	my $necessary = CGI::param(foo) || pod2usage(message => "you forgot >>foo<<");

	#Raw message is not escaped
	my $another   = CGI::param(bar) || pod2usage(raw_message => "you forgot <b>bar</b>");

Provides pod2usage exit from CGI scripts. You may optionally supply a message. By default the message text is escaped to prevent cross-site scripting injection attacks and placed in a div container of class "message" that you can optionally format with a CSS. You can use the raw_message directive if you want to write HTML out into the page and manage your own escaping.

The module works fine under Apache::Registry but will not work in any environments where $0 is not defined.

pod2usage(%options)

Displays usage and exits. Valid options are:

	message - message (will be automatically escaped)
	raw_message - message (not escaped)
	css - one or more CSS URLs to be applied to the page (either a scalar or an arrayref)

Pod::XHtml and either Apache or CGI are loaded on demand if required
