If it's just to get the parameter values,
$app->add_helper('param' => sub { return shift->req->param(shift) })
might do the trick, as long as you pass the controller object to
whatever expects to be able to use ->param. For a full CGI-compatible
mockup, I guess you can just create a plugin that creates all the
required helpers to make that work.
If I have some free time I might just do that...
