I was told I should be using Apache::Request for things like: 
my $r = Apache->request;
my $apr = Apache::Request->instance($r, DISABLE_UPLOADS => 1);

my $args = $apache_request->param;

Someone (I think it was on here) said it was better/safer than using just $r as I could set stuff like DISABLE_UPLOADS and the max size for post/get requests.

What is it with shift? To tell you the truth I dont understand how it can be use in such an instance. I know that it returns & removes the first argument in an array ie. @ARGV , @_ or @whatever. I know that Apache wraps your script so that having it in my script (not a sub) should return the class name i.e Apache but why can it replace Apache->request which I thought would be a subroutine?
