=head2 new

The constructor takes no arguments and returns a new CGI::Lite object.

=head2 parse_form_data

This handles the following types of requests: GET, HEAD and POST.
By default, CGI::Lite uses the environment variable REQUEST_METHOD to 
determine the manner in which the query/form information should be 
decoded. However, it may also be passed a valid request 
method as a scalar string to force CGI::Lite to decode the information in 
a specific manner. 

	my $params = $cgi->parse_form_data ('GET');

For multipart/form-data, uploaded files are stored in the user selected 
directory (see L<set_directory|/set_directory>). If timestamp mode is on (see 
L<add_timestamp|/add_timestamp>), the files are named in the following format:

    timestamp__filename
