Hi all,

I am a newbie to mod_perl and going straight to mod_perl 2.

If you want to play with 2.0 it's cool, but you may find that it's not yet ready for production, as not all APIs are available yet. On the other hand 1.27 is a *very* robust version.

Have successfully written basic handler (API).

Have not installed mod_perl 1.x

Not using Apache::compat. ( Donot intend to use CGI.pm either )

In this case how to use methods from Apache::Request like $q->param() etc?

I can get form data thru $r->read() but how to parse it ?

Please point me to some documentation. have already checked perl.apache.org.

Apache::compat is the only way to go for now (if you don't use CGI.pm). See
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/compat/compat.html#C__r_E_gt_content_

Apache::Request for Apache 2.0 is in works. The C version is pretty much completed, but it's not clear how it's going to be distributed. Once this clears out the perl glue code will be written. Join the
