Summary: Localise PerlAccessHandler 

Initial Comment:
PerlAccessHandler Slash::Apache::User

performs modifications on the Apache->request object 
that appears to render it unusable for mod_perl 
scripts outside Slash that use mod_perl and CGI. 
Specifically, CGI.pm will not handle POST requests if 
the request passses through that handler.

My workaround for this was to make sure the handler is 
only used for Slash's scripts and the change is as 
simple as

    <Location ~ "^/(([^/]*)\.pl)?$">
    PerlAccessHandler Slash::Apache::User
    PerlLogHandler Slash::Apache::Log
    </Location>

I also move the LogHandler in the config so that Slash 
doesn't log requests to my other scripts (but it will 
miss logs to Slash's .html .shtml etc. files). 
However, crucially, my other mod_perl app runs with 
Slash quite happily now that the PerlAccessHandler 
isn't in the way.
