Which is now the preferred method of using libapreq? Via
Apache2::Request or APR::Request?

I have written wrappers around APR::Request::Param/Cookie/Apache2 which
do what I need.  Should I be concerned about the API changing
dramatically in future releases?  Is the API of the APR modules more or
less stable than the Apache2:Request modules?

thanks

Either one is fine, but the APR::Request API's are a little
closer to the bare metal than the Apache2::Request ones.

The APIs are equally stable- this is our first non-dev release
of libapreq2.
