=head1 NAME

CGI::Form2XML - Render CGI form input as XML

=head1 SYNOPSIS


   use CGI::Form2XML;


   my $x = CGI::Form2XML->new();

   $x->ns_prefix("nfd");

   print $x->asXML();


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a method of taking CGI form input and turning it into
XML for further processing by another application or storage.  Unlike
modules such CGI::XML and CGI::XMLForm it produces XML to a fixed schema
whose structure is not influenced by the form input.  If flexibility as to
the structure of the XML data is required you will probably want to consider
one of the other modules.

The schema is included in the distribution of this module as "xmlform.xsd".

The module inherits from the CGI module in order to get access to the CGI
parameters, so any of the methods of that module can be used.

=item  new

The constructor for the class.  Returns a blessed object of type CGI::Form2XML.
Any arguments provided will be passed to the constructor of CGI.

=item asXML

Returns the XML document that represents this CGI request.
It takes a hashref of arguments whose keys are :

=item ns_prefix

The namespace prefix that should be used for this document.  The default
is no namespace.

=item ns_url

The URL that describes this namespace - the default is
'http://schemas.gellyfish.com/FormData', there is currently nothing at this
URL.

=item omit_info

If this is set to a true value then the 'header' information will not be
emitted by asXML().
