Are you sure you need a module and not a perl or php script?  If you 
NEED an extension for apache, read on.

Incoming HTTP headers are stored in the request_rec->headers_in 
apr_table.  You can write a filter that grabs POST data before any other 
module gets it if you needed to alter the data.  If you don't need to 
alter the data, you probably don't want an apache extension, just a 
standard CGI program.
