   Description     : module providing a modern interface to write CGI scripts

CGI::Tiny provides a modern interface to write CGI scripts to dynamically
respond to HTTP requests as defined in RFC 3875. It is intended to be:

  * Minimal
  CGI::Tiny contains a small amount of code and (on modern Perls) no non-core
  requirements. No framework needed.

  * Simple
  CGI::Tiny is straightforward to use, avoids anything magical or surprising,
  and provides easy access to the most commonly needed features.

  * Robust
  CGI::Tiny's interface is designed to help the developer follow best
  practices and avoid common pitfalls and vulnerabilities by default.

  * Lazy
  CGI::Tiny only loads code or processes information once it is needed,
  so simple requests can be handled without unnecessary overhead.

  * Restrained
  CGI::Tiny is designed for the CGI protocol which executes the program again
  for every request. It is not suitable for persistent protocols like FastCGI
  or PSGI.

  * Flexible
  CGI::Tiny can be used with other modules to handle tasks like routing and
  templating, and doesn't impose unnecessary constraints to reading input or
  rendering output.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
