you mean parms() ? the Apache::Request::parms hash ref is tied, so
there are still method calls, but less than calling params(), which does
extra stuff to emulate CGI::params. parms() is going to be
renamed (to something less like params()) and documented as faster than
using the params() wrapper, in the next release.
