Certain modules, such as CGI::Ajax and JavaScript::Autocomplete::Backend, require a minimal CGI.pm-compatible module to provide, in particular, param() and header() methods to, respectively, fetch parameters and to set the headers. The standard module to do this is of course CGI.pm; however, especially in a mod_perl environment, there may be concerns with the resultant memory footprint. This module provides param() and header() methods via mod_perl2 and librapreq2, and as such, it may be a viable alternative in a mod_perl scenario. However, due to the nature of the required APR modules needed here, this module may also be used in a CGI environment. See the documentation for CGI::Apache2::Wrapper for details. Installation proceeds through the usual perl Makefile.PL $MAKE $MAKE test $MAKE install or, if Module::Build is available, perl Build.PL perl Build perl Build test perl Build install A ppm package for Win32 users of ActivePerl 8xx can be installed by adding http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ to your list of repositories and then issuing the command C:\> ppm install CGI-Apache2-Wrapper This software is copyright 2007 by Randy Kobes .
