If so, that's really a bug, not a portability issue.  Apache::Request 
objects are derived from Apache::RequestRec, so it should be ok to pass 
them to any Apache::Cookie methods which expect an Apache::RequestRec 
object.

Can you please show us the code which segfaults?

Interesting.  It looks like CGI::Cookie has the v2 behavior.

  $ perl -MCGI::Cookie -wle '$c = new CGI::Cookie 
                                  -name=>1, -value=>2, -expires=>""; 
  print $c->as_string'
  1=2; path=/; expires=Mon, 15-Nov-2004 16:15:09 GMT


I'm not sure if this is a bug in libapreq2.  Any other opinions
out there?
