CGI::Session::ExpireSessions is a pure Perl module. It deletes CGI::Session-type sessions which have passed their use-by date. It works with CGI::Session-type sessions in a database or in disk files, but does not appear to work with CGI::Session::PureSQL-type sessions. The recommended way to use this module is via method expire_sessions(), which requires CGI::Session V 4 or later.

CGI::Simple provides a relatively lightweight drop in replacement for CGI.pm. It shares an identical OO interface to CGI.pm for parameter parsing, file upload, cookie handling and header generation. This module is entirely object oriented, however a complete functional interface is available by using the CGI::Simple::Standard module.

CGI::Struct lets you transform CGI data keys that look like perl data structures into actual perl data structures.

This module is a very lightweight parser of CGI forms. And it has a special feature that it will return an array if the same key is used twice in the form. You can force an array even if only one value returned to avoid complications. The hash %cgi_data will have all the form data from either a POST or GET form and will also work for "multipart/form-data" forms necessary for uploading files.

This Input Handler verifies that it is dealing with a reasonable date. Reasonably means anything that Date::Manip thinks is sensible, so you could use any of (for example): "December 12, 2001" "12th December, 2001" "2001-12-12" "next Tuesday" "third Wednesday in March" See Date::Manip for much more information on what date formats are acceptable. The resulting date will be a Date::Simple object. Date::Simple for more information on this.

CGI::Untaint::email input handler verifies that it is a valid RFC2822 mailbox format. The resulting value will be a Mail::Address instance.

Dealing with large web based applications with multiple forms is a minefield. It's often hard enough to ensure you validate all your input at all, without having to worry about doing it in a consistent manner. If any of the validation rules change, you often have to alter them in many different places. And, if you want to operate taint-safe, then you're just adding even more headaches.

This module has been written to provide a simple and secure manner by which to handle files uploaded in multipart/form-data requests through a web browser. The primary advantage which this module offers over existing modules is the single interface which it provides for the most often required information regarding files uploaded in this manner. This module builds upon primarily the CGI and File::MMagic modules and offers some tidy and succinct methods for the handling of files uploaded via multipart/form-data requests.

CGI::XMLApplication is a CGI application class, that intends to enable perl artists to implement CGIs that make use of XML/XSLT functionality, without taking too much care about specialized errorchecking or even care too much about XML itself. It provides the power of the XML::LibXML/XML::LibXSLT module package for content deliverment. As well CGI::XMLApplication is designed to support project management on code level. The class allows to split web applications into several simple parts. Through this most of the code stays simple and easy to maintain. Throughout the whole lifetime of a script CGI::XMLApplication tries to keep the application stable. As well a programmer has not to bother about some of XML::LibXML/XML::LibXSLT transformation pitfalls.

This module is a Perl extension that extends REST::Client for use with the CIF-Framework REST interface
