Its kind of silly to say that about CGI.pm, especially with mod_perl, where
you have eliminated its biggest drawback ( its load time, which is not much
of a drawback anyway because of AUTOLOADing ). And I do believe with MP2 it
will be the canonical way to interface with client input.
But you do have Apache::Request. It works like CGI.pm except it doesent have
as many features ( namely, cookie support. Use Apache::Cookie for that ).
Note:
my $apr = Apache::Request->instance( $r );
--OR--
my $apr = Apache::Request->instance( Apache->request() );
use the latter if your sub/method dosen't have a request object yet.
To get to your question, directly from the docs:
# similar to CGI.pm
my $value = $apr->param('foo');
my @values = $apr->param('foo');
my @params = $apr->param;
this is all documented at perl.apache.org and search.cpan.org. See:
