Cgi_params

Can anyone explain the purpose of CGI_PARAMS in `cgi.rb’; why the
constants get defined at all? I cannot find anything that refers to
them.

They conflict with a reusable environment (i.e. FastCGI).

cgi.rb:

   if defined?(CGI_PARAMS)
     @params  = CGI_PARAMS.nil?  ? nil : CGI_PARAMS.dup
     @cookies = CGI_COOKIES.nil? ? nil : CGI_COOKIES.dup
   else
     initialize_query()  # set @params, @cookies
     eval "CGI_PARAMS  = @params.nil?  ? nil : @params.dup"
     eval "CGI_COOKIES = @cookies.nil? ? nil : @cookies.dup"
     if defined?(MOD_RUBY) and (RUBY_VERSION < "1.4.3")
       raise "Please, use ruby1.4.3 or later."
     else
       at_exit() do
         if defined?(CGI_PARAMS)
           self.class.class_eval("remove_const(:CGI_PARAMS)")
           self.class.class_eval("remove_const(:CGI_COOKIES)")
         end
       end
     end
   end
