Apache::Request simply maps the Apache object into an Apache::Request
object (I know that sounds like double-speak, but it's late), and adds
some extra methods. I don't think that's what Vijay's original
question is all about.
What's needed is an HTTP::Request object. Look at LWP::UserAgent
which brings together HTTP::Request and HTTP::Response objects and you
also should grab HTTP::Headers. Like I said, it's late. I think that
whole collection ball of wax is in libwww-perl available on CPAN.
Other than the parsing and redisplaying that Vijay asked about, that's
pretty much what a proxy server does, and there's a pretty detailed
example or two in the Eagle book. As far as the parsing that response
data, a mixture of good ole perl technique and HTML::Parser should be
sufficient.
