Re: Importing CGI methods into a subclass as a class method

[Phaysis]

OK. After reading your advice, and reading the most recent CGI documentation, I realized that importing any CGI methods into my Request namespace forces me into using CGI in the function-oriented fashion, and prevents me from having multiple Request objects with their own unique CGI objects. My confusion with the use CGI and $r = new CGI qw(param) importing situation has been cleared up. (Funny how re-reading, after listening to suggestions, can change things.)

I've decided my best option, at this point, is to simply make stub methods to forward calls to the CGI object. Seems to me to be the best policy. I will, however, look into your suggestions as they appear to be potentially quite usable.

Thank you folks for your quick (!!) advice. Wow.

Actually... no. :) The CGI subroutines are a dual in how they act. If they're used as functions, they act like functions. If they're used like methods, they act like methods. So you can still import CGI methods/functions and expect it to work.
