  /foo.asp?name=joe&color=red

...produces the following C<$Form> object:

  $VAR1 = {
    name  => 'joe',
    color => 'red'
  };

Access form data just like any other hashref:

  Hello, <%= $Form->{name} %>, I see your favorite color is <%= $Form->{color} %>.

=head2 $Server

The C<$Server> object offers a few utility methods that don't really fit anywhere else.

=head3 $Server->HTMLEncode( $string )

Given a string like C<< <br/> >> returns a string like C<< &lt;br/&gt; >>

=head3 $Server->HTMLDecode( $string )

Given a string like C<< &lt;br/&gt; >> returns a string like C<< <br/> >>

=head3 $Server->URLEncode( $string )

Given a string like C<< billg@microsoft.com >> returns a string like C<< billg%40microsoft.com >>

=head3 $Server->URLDecode( $string )

Given a string like C<< billg%40microsoft.com >> returns a string like C<< billg@microsoft.com >>

=head3 $Server->MapPath( $path )

Given a C<$path> of C</foo.asp> would return something like C</var/www/example.com/htdocs/foo.asp>

=head3 $Server->Mail( %args )

Sends an email via L<Mail::Sendmail>.  In fact it simply calls the C<sendmail(...)> function
provided by L<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 L<Mail::Sendmail> for further details and examples.

=head3 $Server->RegisterCleanup( sub { ... }, \@args )

After the final response has been sent to the client, the server will execute
your subref and provide it the C<\@args> passed in.

This is useful for long-running or asynchronous processes that don't require the
client to wait for a response.

=head2 $Request

An instance of L<ASP4::Request>, the C<$Request> object contains specialized methods
for dealing with whatever the browser sent us.

Examples:

=head3 $Request->Cookies( $name )

  my $cookie = $Request->Cookies("some-cookie-name");

=head3 $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 L<ASP4::FileUpload> documentation.

=head2 $Response

An instance of L<ASP4::Response>, the C<$Response> object gives shortcuts for dealing
with the outgoing reply from the server back to the client.

Examples:

=head3 $Response->Write( $string )

The following example prints the string C<Hello, World!> to the browser:

  $Response->Write("Hello, World!");

Or, within an ASP script, C<< <%= "Hello, World" %> >>

=head3 $Response->Redirect( $url )

  $Response->Redirect( "/new/url/?foo=bar" );

=head3 $Response->SetCookie( %args )
