A couple of years ago, I produced a module that emulated a few of the
Apache::Request methods from a CGI environment. The only reason for
doing this was that I was writing an adserver (boo hiss) that I wanted
to run on both Apache and Netscape webservers, but didn't want to write
code in CGI. I released the code to CPAN as Apache::Emulator within a
rarely used Adserver distribution.

My code wasn't complete, or by any means pleasant, but, I guess it was
a good idea because Jorg Walter finished off the job with his excellent,
and comprehensive Apache::Fake distrubution.

Recently, Adam Kennedy has expressed an interest in adding a few
methods to Apache::Emulator, and I dusted off the distribution for him
(separating the code from the Adserver I'd written). I think he would
like to have Apache::Emulator be a slimmed down version of Apache::Fake,
keeping only the most popular features. I'm glad that somepone has taken
an interest.

I think this repackaging is what raised the interest of a few mod_perl
developers. However, at the moment, there is nothing new here.
