=head1 NAME
CGI::Switch - Try more than one constructors and return the first object available
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use CGISwitch;
-or-
use CGI::Switch This, That, CGI::XA, Foo, Bar, CGI;
my $q = new CGI::Switch;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Per default the new() method tries to call new() in the three packages
Apache::CGI, CGI::XA, and CGI. It returns the first CGI object it
succeeds with.
The import method allows you to set up the default order of the
modules to be tested.
