Depends on how you define full features ;-)

It's called Apache2::Request now for mod_perl 2. Main reason to want to
use it is to deal with client data. POST/GET/cookie data is not fully parsed by
mod_perl 2, and Apache2::Request does a mighty good job at taking care
of that. It's a much better/faster alternative to using CGI.pm
