as i see there is no way to set request parameter in mod_perl2
is there any chance this could happen in near future releases?

You can rewrite an url using mp2's PerlTransHandler.
This is the sample code from book mp2 user's guide.

If the URI:
http://example.com/news/20021031/09/index.html
is now handled by:
http://example.com/perl/news.pl?date=20021031;id=09;page=index.html
the following handler can rewrite the URI in a way transparent to news.pl,
so you can still use the former URI mapping:
#file:MyApache2/RewriteURI.pm
#---------------------------
package MyApache2::RewriteURI;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Apache2::RequestRec ();
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(DECLINED);
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my ($date, $id, $page) = $r->uri =~ m|^/news/(\d+)/(\d+)/(.*)|;
$r->uri("/perl/news.pl");
$r->args("date=$date;id=$id;page=$page");
return Apache2::Const::DECLINED;
}
1;

What makes you think that?  You can set the query string in mod_perl2.
 You can also do things like create an input filter to alter
parameters on their way in.

That's probably a question for the libapreq list. I know that for me
this was a really annoying thing to have to work around when porting to
MP2.  the other thing that changed in apreq is that @params =
$req->param() will now return (a, b, b)  for the query string
"?a=1&b=1&b=2" instead of  (a, b).  That mangled a few things on me.

To get around not being able to do $req->param('a' => 'something else'),
i ended up parsing the whole param structure out into a datastructure
that i could modify if i needed to, which isn't a very nice way to
handle it unfourtunately.
