Hi All,

I'd like to announce the beta release of my latest module, 
MasonX::ApacheHandler::WithCallbacks, currently wending its way to the 
CPAN. This module subclasses HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler to add 
callbacks to HTML::Mason request handling. Based on an idea from 
Bricolage, it allows developers to trigger the execution of code early 
in the Mason request process, before Mason creates or executes its 
component stack. The advantage here is that such code can alter the 
Mason %ARGS hash, preprocess arguments, or even redirect the request 
based on data submitted in an HTML form field. More reasons why you'd 
want to do this are included in the documentation.

I'm pretty happy with the implementation (it being that I only 
completely rewrote it twice in the course of the last few days), but 
would welcome feedback. See the TODO section of the documentation for 
some of the ideas I'm bouncing around, and let me know what you think 
of the interface.

Enjoy,

David
