Thanks; switching to Apache->request for my POST requests not only took care
of the error message, but also exposed a bug where I was trying to use
param() during handling of the POST.

Doug.

In 1.X, the read() method is inherited from the underlying Apache
object.  Can you get along without using Apache::Request, and just
use $r = Apache->request?

In 2.X, libapreq for apache is implemented as a passive input filter
with a user-definable parser (the builtin parsers just serve as
overridable defaults).  The C API is designed to be much more
accommodating in situations like yours, although the Apache::Request perl
glue doesn't expose these additional features just yet.
