I haven't seen the rest of your module, so I'm not so sure that the point
really stands. It might. But, adding one line to initialize the CGI object
is really not that big a deal considering the kind of power you have
associated with that object. How much extra work do I have to do to utilize
the keys and values in your hash vs. the CGI.pm hash?
The data structure you get back from CGI.pm is:
- Called in a scalar context, a tied hash reference.
- Called in a list context, a standard hash
containing key/value pairs.
- Keys/params with multiple values are returned
as a packed string separated by \0.

my point stands :)
So out of curiosity, what kind of data structure do you get back with this?
If its as I would
imagine, then its very close to my own.
%hash = (
'a_name' => 'value', # for single name value pairs
'b_name' => ["multiple", "values", "for", "this"], # for single name
muli-value sets
'c_name' => {
'original_name' => 'filename.jpg',
'size' => '23554',
'location' =>
'/tmp/fileupload/tmpfile-10028983-88.57.192.3-2783-298374-927837'
} # for files
);
Of coarse I know the image information is not in there the same way.

Picky, picky. :)
You're right, my bad.
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
my %params = $q->Vars;

Try again. Your code throws the following error:
Can't call method "Vars" on an undefined value ...
