Gerald's post says that this is actually a bug, but if it weren't, you
could easily do this in your base.epl:
[! sub apache_req { $req_rec || $_[0]->SUPER::apache_req } !]
which should return $req_rec if it exists (in 1.3 or a bugfixed 2.0),
else it calls the normal 2.0 $req->apache_req.
other pages could then be modified to always use the 2.0 syntax.
you could use a EMBPERL_OBJECT_HANDLER_CLASS to provide these
"missing" methods even more invisibly. you would only set
EMBPERL_OBJECT_HANDLER_CLASS in your 1.3 setup of course.
