I'm working on a module - CGI::Apache2::Wrapper - which may help in this regard. The aim here is to provide a (mostly) CGI.pm-compatible interface to certain mod_perl2 and libapreq2 methods. Currently the main one present is param(), but work is being done on others like cookie() and upload(). One of the main purposes is to assist in the porting of apps from cgi to mod_perl, so that one can say in a handler

  my $cgi;
  if ($I_want_to_use_mod_perl_modules) {
     $cgi = CGI::Apache2::Wrapper->new($r);
  }
  else {
     $cgi = CGI->new($r);
  }

and then call methods like param(), etc. on the $cgi object, with the work of loading and calling the appropriate mod_perl2/libapreq2 modules and methods done behind the scenes.

Let me know if there's something along these lines that would be useful.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
