How to tell GET from POST method ni CGI.pm?

I am beginning to work on hardening my website against cross site request
forgeries. I use CGI.pm.

My question is, how can I tell, using CGI.pm,  if this webpage was invoked
with a GET or POST method?

Thanks

	You're probably intersted in:  $q->request_method

	It should also be available in an environment variable of the same 
name:  $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'}
