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.
