Access to Apache 2 POST data?

I'm looking for a way to pass HTTP POST data from a POST request to a 
subrequest, however, I can't find any methods in the mod_perl API that 
deal with a HTTP POST request body.

Apche 1 mod_perl had $r->content, but that doesn't appear to be present 
in Apache 2 mod_perl. Can anyone point me to the replacement? I'm sure 
I'm just missing it.

If there's not a $r->content equivalent, maybe there's a bucket brigade 
workaround or something along those lines? I just need to be pointed in 
the right direction.

Thank you in advance for your help!
