You're right -- I should have clarified.  I was referring to the fact
that it's not a drop-in replacement for CGI.pm.  IOW, if CGI-App changes
to give the user a Apache::Request object instead of a CGI.pm object
(without telling them) then code is going to break.

I don't really think Apache::Request serves a different purpose from
CGI.pm, however.  Both are high-level interfaces to HTTP, and both are
used to making web-apps.  The fact that Apache::Request does not include
hidden form variable HTML creation (for example) in the module is a
design decision, the wisdom of which is in the eyes of the beholder.
When I referred to "completeness" I was only referring to its
functionality with respect to CGI.pm.


TTYL,
