request uri in CGI module

[Moritz Karbach]

Hi everyone,

I need something similar to the PHP variable $SERVER[REQUEST_URI], that is
the full string someone entered in his browser, the url and the query.

Is there some easy way to get this? Or do I have to compose it again using
CGI:arams and lots of ? and & parsing?

Cheers,

- Moritz

I am not fmailiar with PHP to know exactly what that variable contains.

Why not read the documentation?

Actually I had a quick look at the docu and I searched it for "request uri"
and something similar, but I didn't find anything. Obviosly I should have
had a closer look, what you found was exactly what I needed.

Thanks!

Yes. In Perl, the environment variables are available in the %ENV hash,
so $ENV{REQUEST_URI} is probably what you want.

To print the whole %ENV hash you can do:

print "$_ = $ENV{$_}\n" for keys %ENV;
