Maybe a silly question --

I'm trying to read the contents of a POST which contains a CGI-uploaded part,
via multipart/form-data.  For standard POST requests, I am used to the
content() method, as documented in the Apache POD:

       $r->content
           The $r->content method will return the entity body
           read from the client, but only if the request content
           type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded.  When
           called in a scalar context, the entire string is
           returned.  When called in a list context, a list of
           parsed key => value pairs are returned.  *NOTE*: you
           can only ask for this once, as the entire body is read
           from the client.

The POD seems to suggest that only the old-style "x-www-form-urlencoded" data,
and not "multipart" are supported.  How can I deal with multipart forms via
mod_perl?

Thanx!
