RequestIO is not inhereted from RequestRec. Also I have not created a object of type RequestIO they are just unrelated to eachother. I whould expect a full working object from the beginning. If my program does more than passing a obj ref around the I know I have to load this object's module. use Apache::RequestRec nothing more.
This is the same for all other Apache::* modules, please do not populate others namespace without reason. Nor bother a user to load a module he did not use.
For the record, I agree with Boris on this. Users should never be required to use methods defined in namespaces of modules that they did not explicitly load, and modules should not define things in other namespaces (like the Apache:: stuff that started this thread).
I don't have any production mp2 code, so I'm probably less worried about backwards compatibility than some people, but I think you could handle the issue with some alias methods that print a warning about being deprecated and then call the new method names.
