First, I really like the idea. A client of mine is a recent convert to
CGI::App but would really like to use Apache::Request. This makes it
very easy to do.
A couple comments: Is there any reason you can't provide overridden
header_*() method which Do The Right Thing under the hood? This would
make it trivial to switch between use of CGI & Apache::Request. I
know that it's probably not practical to have 100% API compatibility,
but covering the header method would go a long way.
