it was just an idea that I had, and I hadn't investigated brigades to the
point where I fully understood whether my desires were proper or not.  ymmv :)

just to be clear, I only posted it so you could steal any useful ideas from
within - I'm not planning on releasing it anymore, so feel free to do your
own thing (steal it, ignore it, whatever).

right, it may not be possible, or the needs of filters may be different.  as
I said, I was starting at a different point - in Apache::Upload, $bb
represents an uploaded file, which I wouldn't want to consume in case other
people wanted to read from it as well. creating an interface that met the
needs of both types of brigades was a sticking point for me, which is
partially why I moved on :)

yeah, I'd say so.  in truth, APR:: isn't entirely separate from mod_perl
yet, but that's the plan.  so I'd suggest saying out of a new namespace on
CPAN until the core APR:: modules are clean.  but I don't feel strongly
about that, so yet another suggestion.

good luck and kudos for getting something fully working - I knew it was a
good idea :)
