🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, welcome to the CGI::Simple::Util(3) page — aka CGI::Simple::Util — and it's literally the internal utilities used by the CGI::Simple module. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the whole vibe in four lines, no cap:

$escaped     = escapeHTML('In HTML you need to escape < > " and & chars');
$unescaped   = unescapeHTML('&lt;&gt;&quot;&amp;');
$url_encoded = escape($string);
$decoded     = unescape($url_encoded);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

CGI::Simple::Util contains essentially non public subroutines used by CGI::Simple. It's giving "backstage crew only" energy, honestly. But there are HTML and URL escape and unescape routines in here that may be of some use. ✨

There's also an internal object storing a number of system specific details, and its whole job is to enable the escape routines to be accurate. Lowkey iconic. 🎀
