Untested but I think this should work. Hopefully it atleast gives you something to build on.

# Add this to your CGI::Application subclass.

sub request_from_cgi {
    my ($self) = @_;

    my $q = $self->query;
    my $uri = $q->url;
    my $method = uc $q->request_method;
    my $headers = $q->header($self->header_props);

    # does this cover all cases??? Perhaps it ought to 
    # look at content-type?
    if ($method eq 'POST') {
        $content = $q->param('POSTDATA');
    }
    elsif ($method eq 'PUT') {
        $content = $q->param('PUTDATA');
    }
    else {
        $content = undef;
    }

    return HTTP::Request->new(
        $method,
        $uri,
        $headers,
        $content,
    );
}
