CGI::U...integer(3pm)

💖 CGI::Untaint::integer 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the little module that goes "is this actually a whole number tho?" and nothing else. it's part of the CGI::Untaint situation, and it's giving very focused, very demure, very mind-your-business energy. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

CGI::Untaint::integer — validate an integer 🧮

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

my $age = $handler->extract(-as_integer => 'age');

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you hand it -as_integer, it hands you back a number (or it doesn't, and honestly? slay for being honest). 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does this Input Handler actually do? it verifies that it is dealing with an integer. that's the job. that's the whole job. 👑

the integer can be positive or negative — both are valid and both are welcome here, we don't gatekeep signs — but it has to be in a basic format, aka a string of digits. no fancy business.

🚨 and it will not accept exponentials. not 1e3, not 2E10, none of it. exponentials are not invited to this party, no cap. 🙈
