That's great that it works ... libapreq2 is pretty general;
from the README in the sources:

  libapreq is a safe, standards-compliant, high-performance library
  used for parsing HTTP cookies, query-strings and POST data. The
  original version (libapreq-1.X) was designed by Lincoln
  Stein and Doug MacEachern. The perl APIs Apache::Request
  and Apache::Cookie are the lightweight mod_perl analogs of
  the CGI and CGI::Cookie perl modules.

<http://search.cpan.org/src/JOESUF/libapreq2-2.04_03-dev/README>;

In fact, you can use libapreq2 in a CGI environment (to do
so with the Perl bindings you need mod_perl installed for
some APR::* modules, but these particular modules can also
be used outside of mod_perl).
