NAME
Apache::FillInForm - mod_perl interface to HTML::FillInForm
SYNOPSIS
httpd.conf:
PerlModule Apache::Filter
PerlModule Apache::FillInForm
<FilesMatch "\.foo$">
PerlSetVar Filter on
PerlHandler Apache::RegistryFilter Apache::FillInForm
</FilesMatch>
And then somewhere in your application:
use Apache::FillInForm;
Apache::FillInForm->fill; # We have a form to fill out
DESCRIPTION
This is a mod_perl filter that uses HTML::FillInForm and Apache::Request
to automatically populate forms with user submitted data.
Your application should call Apache::FillInForm->fill to indicate that
you need a form filled in. If you don't do that, the filter passes the
content through unmodified to minimize the performance hit for pages
with no forms. Regardless of how many times you call
Apache::FillInForm->fill, your content will only be filtered once per
request.
The data source for the forms is taken from Apache::Request by calling
its instance() method. If you're unfamiliar with how the instance()
method works, see the Apache::Request documentation.
If you don't want to use Apache::Request you should be able to subclass
this module and override its data() method. The data() method should
return either a hash reference or an object that has a CGI.pm-style
param() interface.
BUGS
May want to allow specific forms to be targeted by name and use separate
data sources for each.
Warning: This interface is experimental and may change based on
experience and feedback.
