Multipart Form Values

When dealing with a multipart form, the array returned by CGI#[] is composed of objects of class Tempfile, with the following dynamically added methods:
Method Description

content_type Content type

class CGI::Session
Parent: Object
Version: 1.6

Index:

A CGI::Session maintains a persistent state for web users in a CGI environment. Sessions may be memory-resident or may be stored on disk. See the discussion on page 146 for details.

class methods
new CGI::Session.new( aCgi, [ aHash ]* ) -> aSession

Returns a new session object for the CGI query. Options that may be given in aHash include:

Option Description
session_key Name of CGI key for session identification.
session_id Value of session id.
new_session If true, create a new session id for this session. If false, use an existing session identified by session_id. If omitted, use an existing session if available, otherwise create a new one.
database_manager Class to use to save sessions; may be CGI::Session::FileStore or CGI::Session::MemoryStore (or user defined if you're brave). Default is FileStore.
tmpdir For FileStore, directory for session files.
prefix For FileStore, prefix of session filenames.

instance methods
[ ] aSession[ aKey ] -> aValue
