The request object is used in handlers. You can either write handlers or CGI 
scripts. Continue using CGI but inorder to reap the benifits of mod-perl, you 
will need to run it under ModPerl::Registry.
 
 In your CGI script, while running under ModPerl::Registry., you even have 
access to the request object.  If, at main::, you have my $r = shift;, then you 
will get the object.
 
 I hope this helps.

I am  bit confused. While reading the mod_perl book, I noticed they are using 
Apache::Request versus CGI for form data handling. Why is that? Is it 
recommended to use Apache over CGI? Any advantages? I am using CGI because its 
a standard module.
 
TIA
