Reading documentation.. and it looks like $r->param is what I need :) Thanks!
--- perldoc Apache::Request ---
param
Get or set request parameters (using case-insensitive
keys) by mimicing the OO interface of "CGI::param".
Unlike the CGI.pm version, Apache::Request's param
method is very fast- it's now quicker than even
mod_perl's native Apache->args method. However,
CGI.pm's "-attr => $val" type arguments are not sup-
ported.
# similar to CGI.pm
my $value = $apr->param('foo');
my @values = $apr->param('foo');
my @params = $apr->param;
# the following differ slightly from CGI.pm
# assigns multiple values to 'foo'
$apr->param('foo' => [qw(one two three)]);
# returns ref to underlying apache table object
my $table = $apr->param; # identical to $apr->parms - see below
parms
Get or set the underlying apache parameter table of
the Apache::Request object. When invoked without
arguments, "parms" returns a reference to an
Apache::Table object that is tied to the
Apache::Request object's parameter table. If called
with an Apache::Table reference as as argument, the
Apache::Request object's parameter table is replaced
by the argument's table.
# $apache_table references an Apache::Table object
$apr->parms($apache_table); # sets $apr's parameter table
# returns ref to Apache::Table object provided by $apache_table
my $table = $apr->parms;
