That sounds good to me.  I'm not looking for any particular backward 
compatibility, and speed is an issue.

As I said in my original post, I tried to use Apache2::Request, but 
after creating that object, I couldn't print anything anymore.  Perhaps 
someone could give me a hint on how to implement it?

Here's the original code again.

Thank you very much.
