CGI::Untaint::Maypole(User Contributed Perl DocumentatCGI::Untaint::Maypole(3)NAMECGI::Untaint::Maypole - Use instead of CGI::Untaint. Based on
CGI::Untaint
SYNOPSIS
use CGI::Untaint::Maypole;
my $h = CGI::Untaint::Maypole->new($params);
$value = $h->extract(-as_printable => 'name);
if ($h->error =~ /No input for/) {
# caught empty input now handle it
....
}
if ($h->raw_data->{$field} eq $object->$field) {
# Raw data same as database data. Perhaps we should not update field
...
}
DESCRIPTION
This patches some issues I have with CGI::Untaint. You still need it
installed and you install handlers the same.
1) Instead of passing the empty string to the untaint handlers and
relying on them to handle it to everyone's liking, it seems better to
have CGI::Untaint just say "No input for field" if the field is blank.
2) It adds the method "raw_data" to the get back the parameters the
handler was created with.
raw_data
Returns the parameters the handler was created with as a hashref
