Re^4: CGI::Application - Which is the proper way of handling and outputting utf8

Is there a way to have imports automatically forwarded to CGI?

For example with:

use CGI::as_utf8 qw/-no_xhtml/;

-no_xhtml is not forwarded to CGI!

I think, with the current version of CGI.pm, you could get the -no_xhtml pragma into CGI.pm by putting this into your application module. (It overrides the cgiapp_get_query method in the CGI::Application parent.) `sub cgiapp_get_query { my $self = shift; use CGI ('-no_xhmtml'); my $q = CGI->new; return $q; }` [download] The current version of CGI.pm doesn't use that particular pragma, but the code would work if some other pragma were desired, such as `-utf8`.

Why? And a code example of such a subclass, please.	[reply]

I think the following will do the trick. `sub import { shift; unshift(@_, 'CGI'); goto &CGI::import; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
