[cgiapp] CAP::Apache and CAP::Session

[Michael <suppressed>]

Problem:

I have upgraded an application to use CGI::Application::Plugin::Apache 
which, if you haven't seen changes you app to use Apache::* modules 
instead of CGI.pm. I also wanted to use the 
CGI::Application::Plugin::Session module as well since it's easy to use 
and clean. But it uses the CGI.pm cookie() method to generate the cookie 
to glean the session id and to create a new cookie for the headers.

Now CAP::Apache does a lot to make sure it can handle headers generated 
like this but the query object (since it's an Apache::Request object) 
doesn't have a cookie() method.

A proposed solution would be to modify CAP::Session to either check the 
type of object that $query is and only use the cookie() method if it's 
CGI.pm, else use CGI::Cookie since that's what CGI uses under the hood 
anyway) or it could even check to see if the $ENV{MOD_PERL} is set and 
if it is, use Apache::Cookie, else use CGI::Cookie.

Either way should work and it would even help those who use other non 
CGI.pm query objects (like CGI::Simple, etc)

Thoughts ?
