while i understand the difference between these two i am unsure how to handle these back and forth. let me explain:

I have an upload module with the handler using an Apache::Request

   my $r = Apache::Request->new(
        shift,
        POST_MAX        => 10 * 1024 * 1024,    # in bytes, so 10M
        DISABLE_UPLOADS => 0
    );

[download]
later on i want to send all the info recieved from a file to another module that inserts this information into a database table

rather than pass through a LWP::Simple::get call i would like to call the subroutine that handles the logic directly like so:

&MYMod::Add::Add($r);

[download]
BUT i have the above subroutine pulling in the Apache->request object if through MYMod::Add::handler

so i tried something like this in my upload module

 my $r = Apache->request;

    # Standard stuff, with added options...
    my $apr = Apache::Request->new(
        $r,
        POST_MAX        => 10 * 1024 * 1024,    # in bytes, so 10M
        DISABLE_UPLOADS => 0
    );

[download]
and then 

&MYMod::Add::Add($r);

[download]
but this just borks out the upload procedure and nothing get processed, whereas if i just pass in the Apache::Request it doesnt process the parameters correctly

can anyone explain the finesse i am messing up?
