I'm using Apache::Request to get the params sent from a form. However I hate to keep having to:
# $apr is an Apache::Request object with $apr->parse() 
# already called.

my %params;
$params{'text_field'} = $apr->param('text_field');
$params{'text_field2'} = $apr->param('text_field2');

Is there a better way of getting all of the fields into a hash to be given to HTML::FormValidator to mull over? If I  use CGI; along with mod_perl and use the  Vars() subroutine to get what I want. Would there be any side effects from doing so? (i.e. CGI intereferes with Apache::Request so it can't do its job) Could using hash slices do the job without bringing CGI in to it?

Thanks for your enlightenment,
