Actually, I have briefly looked at this module and looked no more when I
realized it was no longer being maintained. I'll take a look at the code
and see if it's workable to our goals. It would be really nice to have a
starting point, no matter how rough.
I had also considered looking at CGI.pm and seeing how it does things
internally. Is it "moral" to use code from one module in another if they
are both released under the same license?

Well, in our case we are looking to make it mod_perl specific. See my
previous post for my reasoning why. The name is not terribly important
to me, but the Apache:: namespace seemed appropriate for it's mod_perl
specificness (is that a word?).
