$VAR1 = {
name => 'joe',
color => 'red'
};
Access form data just like any other hashref:
Hello, <%= $Form->{name} %>, I see your favorite color is <%= $Form->{color} %>.
## $Server
The `$Server` object offers a few utility methods that don't really fit anywhere else.
### $Server->HTMLEncode( $string )
Given a string like `<br/>` returns a string like `<br/>`
### $Server->HTMLDecode( $string )
Given a string like `<br/>` returns a string like `<br/>`
### $Server->URLEncode( $string )
Given a string like `billg@microsoft.com` returns a string like `billg%40microsoft.com`
### $Server->URLDecode( $string )
Given a string like `billg%40microsoft.com` returns a string like `billg@microsoft.com`
### $Server->MapPath( $path )
Given a `$path` of `/foo.asp` would return something like `/var/www/example.com/htdocs/foo.asp`
### $Server->Mail( %args )
Sends an email via [Mail::Sendmail](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Mail::Sendmail). In fact it simply calls the `sendmail(...)` function
provided by [Mail::Sendmail](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Mail::Sendmail).
Simple Example:
$Server->Mail(
from => 'foo@bar.com',
to => 'bar@foo.com',
subject => 'Hello, world!',
message => 'this is a test message'
);
To send an HTML email do the following:
use MIME::Base64;
$Server->Mail(
from => 'foo@bar.com',
to => 'bar@foo.com',
subject => 'Hello, world!',
'content-type' => 'text/html',
'content-transfer-encoding' => 'base64',
message => encode_base64(<<"HTML")
<html>
<body>
<p>This is an html email.</p>
<p>You can see that <b>this text is bold</b>.</p>
</body>
</html>
HTML
);
Please see [Mail::Sendmail](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Mail::Sendmail) for further details and examples.
### $Server->RegisterCleanup( sub { ... }, \@args )
After the final response has been sent to the client, the server will execute
your subref and provide it the `\@args` passed in.
This is useful for long-running or asynchronous processes that don't require the
client to wait for a response.
## $Request
An instance of [ASP4::Request](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?ASP4::Request), the `$Request` object contains specialized methods
for dealing with whatever the browser sent us.
Examples:
### $Request->Cookies( $name )
my $cookie = $Request->Cookies("some-cookie-name");
### $Request->FileUpload( $field_name )
if( my $file = $Request->FileUpload('avatar_pic') ) {
# Handle the uploaded file:
$file->SaveAs( "/var/media/$Session->{user_id}/avatar/" . $file->FileName );
}
See also the [ASP4::FileUpload](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?ASP4::FileUpload) documentation.
## $Response
An instance of [ASP4::Response](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?ASP4::Response), the `$Response` object gives shortcuts for dealing
with the outgoing reply from the server back to the client.
Examples:
### $Response->Write( $string )
The following example prints the string `Hello, World!` to the browser:
$Response->Write("Hello, World!");
Or, within an ASP script, `<%= "Hello, World" %>`
### $Response->Redirect( $url )
$Response->Redirect( "/new/url/?foo=bar" );
### $Response->SetCookie( %args )
Setting cookies works as follows:
$Response->SetCookie(
name => "cookie-name",
