The generic Apache request library (APR) contains modules for manipulating client request data with the Apache API from Perl and C. Functionality includes: . - parsing of application/x-www-form-urlencoded data - parsing of multipart/form-data - parsing of HTTP Cookies . This package contains the Perl bindings, which are simply a thin XS layer on top of libapreq, making them a lighter and faster alternative to CGI.pm and CGI::Cookie.
