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. -Ants

Is it recommended to use Apache over CGI? Any advantages? I am using CGI because its a standard module.
