Hi,

Is there a easy way to extract the ticket(may be using a Regular Expression)
parameter from a URL as follows

http://localhost/myTest.pl?ticket=ST-2-zbwAtOlYlfzoC6knUXP9&name=test

use CGI;
my $cgi = CGI->new($r);
my $ticket = $cgi->param('ticket');

I need to extract this from the perl_module where I have a handler for the
$r as follows, which is called from the httpd.conf

sub authen_handler  {
        my $self= shift;
        my $r = shift;

     ......

Also would like to know how to get the entire queryString?

But it's really much easier to use CGI :)
