This module provides a Perl interface to some of the C utility functions available in Apache. The same functionality is avaliable in libwww-perl, but the C versions are faster: escape_html( ), escape_uri( ), unescape_uri( ), unescape_uri_info( ), parsedate( ), ht_time( ), size_string( ), and validate_password( ).

Supplied with the mod_perl distribution. See the module manpage for more information.
