=head1 DESCRIPTION

Provides a micro-weight alternative to the CGI.pm module

Rather than attempt to address every possible need of a CGI
programmer, it provides the _minimum_ functions needed for CGI such
as form decoding (including file upload forms), URL encoding
and decoding, HTTP usable date generation (RFC1123 compliant
dates) and I<basic> escaping and unescaping of HTMLized text.

The ':preload' use time option is used to force all sub-component
modules to load at compile time.  It is not required for
operation. It is solely a performance optimization for particular
configurations. When used, it preloads the 'dehtmlize',' param_mime',
'param_filename', 'date_rfc1123', 'url_decode', 'calling_parms_table'
and parameter setting supporting code. Those code sections
are normally loaded automatically the first time they are needed.

=item truncated;

Returns '1' if the read form was shorter than the
Content-Length that was specified by the submitting
user agent (ie the data from a form uploaded by a
web browser was cut off before all the data was received).

Returns '0' if the form was NOT truncated.

Example:

  use CGI::Minimal;

  my $cgi = CGI::Minimal->new;
  if ($cgi->truncated) {
    &bad_form_upload;
  } else {
    &good_form_upload;
  }

'truncated' will also return '1' if the form length
received would have exceeded the set 'max_read_length'.
