An easy one (I hope) - how does one process the parameters from an HTTP::Request they have received using HTTP::Daemon? I'm hoping there's a way to create a CGI object, initialized with the HTTP::Request, like:

use HTTP::Daemon;
use CGI qw/:standard/;

my $httpd = new HTTP::Daemon(LocalPort => 8765);

while (my $connection = $httpd->accept())
{
    # spawn child to deal with this request
    fork() && next;

    while (my $request = $connection->get_request())
    {
        ### I wish this would work.  ###
        my $query = new CGI($request);
... process CGI parms in the usual way

Is there a way to feed an HTTP::Request object into CGI like that? Otherwise, how do people normally process HTTP::Requests?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
