Subject: Re: $cgi = CGI.new w/ mod_ruby dangerous or acceptable?


This is actually what Narf does - which you are welcome to check out
of CVS (http://narf-lib.sourceforge.net). Check out the docs here:
   http://narf-lib.sourceforge.net/doc/

I'm in the process of prepping it for a release, so the docs may not
be fully debugged.
