Ah, so there is. I grep'd an older version which didn't since I'd never 
heard of it before.

You use Apache::Request to get query parameters the same way you do with 
CGI.pm's param() method. perldoc Apache::Request.

Did you could try just importing the CGI.pm HTML functions?

Personally, I prefer Template Toolkit for HTML generation. There are other 
templating systems too. Search the archives for discussions on the subject.

Or as Stas suggested, check out the version 3 beta. I've been using it on 
my personal web server for a few months with no problems, though I don't 
use any of the HTML generation features.

CGI.pm 3.x is supposed to have the args processing and html generation
separated. See:
