APR::Request::Magic — bestie, it's a portable API for working with CGI and modperl scripting. That's the whole vibe. One little module, two whole worlds. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here's the tea, look how easy this is:

# Be sure PerlOptions +GlobalRequest is set for mp2.

use APR::Request::Magic;
$apreq = APR::Request::Magic->handle;
@foo   = $apreq->body("foo");
$bar   = $apreq->args("bar");
$c     = $apreq->jar("cookiename");

head's up, babes: make sure PerlOptions +GlobalRequest is set if you're on mp2. no cap, it matters. 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

The APR::Request::Magic module is serving cgi/mod_perl portable interface energy to libapreq2. It's a subclass of APR::Request, which means literally every single method that lives over there is yours to use too. inheritance really said "what's mine is yours" 💅 periodt.
