    Blosxom::Header - Missing interface to modify HTTP headers

SYNOPSIS

        use Blosxom::Header;

        my $header = Blosxom::Header->new();
  
        $header->set(
            type          => 'text/html;',
            status        => '304',
            cache_control => 'must-revalidate',
        );
        my $value = $header->get('status');           # 304 Not Modified
        my $bool  = $header->exists('cache_control'); # 1
        my @keys  = $header->keys();                  # ('type', 'status', 'cache_control')

        $header->remove('cache_control');
        @keys = $header->keys(); # ('type', 'status')

DESCRIPTION

    Blosxom, a weblog application, exports a global variable $header
    which is a reference to hash. This application passes $header CGI::header()
    to generate HTTP headers.

    When plugin writers modify HTTP headers, they must write as follows:

        package foo;
        $blosxom::header->{'-status'} = '304 Not Modified';

    It's obviously bad practice. Blosxom misses the interface to modify
    HTTP headers.  

    This module allows you to modify them in an object-oriented way.
    If loaded, you might write as follows:

        my $header = Blosxom::Header->new();
        $header->set('status' => '304');
