Re: [mp2] The right way to use CGI parameters in a handler

That sounds good to me.  I'm not looking for any particular backward 
compatibility, and speed is an issue.

As I said in my original post, I tried to use Apache2::Request, but 
after creating that object, I couldn't print anything anymore.  Perhaps 
someone could give me a hint on how to implement it?

Here's the original code again.

# BEGIN CODE BLOCK
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(OK);
use CGI;

sub handler
{
  my ($r) = @_;

  my $cgi = CGI->new($r);

  $r->content_type('text/html');

  if (defined $cgi->param('foo'))
  {
    print 'foo: ' . $cgi->param('foo') . "<br />\n";
  }

  return Apache2::Const::OK;
}
# END CODE BLOCK

Thank you very much.
