No, it made sense for the fastCGI and original Apache::Request modules. The CGI state data potentially comes from many sources: sometimes from stdin and sometimes from mod_perl.
That part is clear, and we are good here. But you said something different. You said that read_from_client is also used to read from filehandles and database handles. How could that be the case under mod_perl? mod_perl always reads from the client socket (which is either disguised as STDIN or accessed via internal Apache APIs). Can you give me an example of when read_from_client running under mod_perl will suddenly decide to read from a filehandle which is not STDIN or a database handle?

OK, I've traced through stuff. The current proposed fix will break the ability to read and write CGI state to temporary files, database handles, etc when operating under mod_perl. Possibly some of the persistent state engines use this, but I think I'll leave it as a known bug.
May I suggest that this is a design bug? Why read_from_client would read from temp files and database handles? doesn't client always mean STDIN? So if you can keep read_from_client usage only to when you want to read from STDIN, than there is no problem. What do you think?
