I like the idea of that, although the handsprings needed to do ordinary CGI, mp1 and mp2 might lead to a cloud of confusion. Best to keep them in separate modules and load them into CGI as needed.
This should be absolutely transparent from the user's point of view.
BTW, my post was regarding mp1, since Apache::Request is available for mp1. Once Apache::Request is available for mp2, it can be integrated as well. Hopefully it's Perl API won't change, so CGI.pm will probably not need to be changed as well.
Is Apache::Request in mp2 ready for prime time? We haven't been able to get it running here (some sort of install problem, my people tell me).
No, it's totally rewritten to accomodate the new Apache API, and also changed the internal design. However it's not completed yet.

That would be really amazing if it could still be implemented in mp1, too, as it would allow for interoperability between libapreq-based applications (like Apache::UploadMeter) and response handlers like CGI scripts which use CGI.pm I suppose that this isn't such a big problem in mp2 whose filters will probably make using one API for request handling unnecessary...

While we are at the CGI.pm issue, I was thinking that those who stick with CGI.pm because of its extended all-in-one functionality (request parsing/
HTML
generation), but unhappy about request parsing speed, could benefit by integrating Apache::Request in CGI.pm to do the request parsing. So if Apache::Request is available CGI.pm could re-alias its args(), params(),
etc.
functions to call Apache::Request functions instead. What do you think?
