This package contains modules for manipulating client request data via the Apache API with Perl and C. Functionality includes:

The Perl modules are simply a thin XS layer on top of libapreq, making them a lighter and faster alternative to CGI.pm and CGI::Cookie. See the Apache::Request and Apache::Cookie documentation for more details and eg/perl/ for examples.

Apache::Request and libapreq are tied tightly to the Apache API, to which there is no access in a process running under mod_cgi.

This module is mentioned in Chapter 6 and Chapter 13.

Available from CPAN. See the module manpage for more information.
