SPUG:CGI header question

[Peter Darley]

Brian,
	There it is in the documentation, right under virtual_host() which I didn't
see earlier either.
	Thanks to everyone for their help.  As always, you guys rock. :)
Thanks,
Peter Darley

	$something = $cgi->http('header-i-am-interested-in');

So you'd want

	$rawmod = $cgi->http('If-Modified-Since');

I'm sure it's in the CGI man page somewhere.
