          my $do_data = "";
          $table->do( sub { $do_data .= "@_,"; 1 } );
          ok $do_data eq "test 1,foo bar1,foo bar2,";

  =head1 DESCRIPTION
  
  This manpage documents the Apache::*::Table classes provided by the
  Apache::Request, Apache::Upload, and Apache::Cookie modules.  Table
  classes are all derived from APR::Table, however since the underlying 
  values they contain are not simple character arrays, the C<merge>, C<compress>,
  and C<overlap> methods from APR::Table are not implemented.
  
  
  
  
  =head1 Apache::Request::Table
  
  These tables arise as parameter tables generated by the C<args>, C<body>, and 
  C<param> methods of Apache::Request.  Their values are representable 
  by orinary perl scalars, but unlike APR::Table, the '\0' character may 
  be safely embedded in a value without truncating it.
  
  
  =for example begin
  
      my $table = Apache::Request::Table->new($r);
      my $value = "bar\0quux";
      $table->{foo} = $value;
  
  =for example end
  
  =for example_testing
      is $table->{foo}, $value;
  
  
  
  
  =head1 Apache::Upload::Table
  
  These tables arise from the C<Apache::Request::upload> method (which is
  provided by Apache::Upload).  Their values are Apache::Upload objects.
  
  
  =for example begin
  
      my $upload = Apache::Upload->new($r, name => "foo", file => __FILE__);
      my $table = Apache::Upload::Table->new($r);
      $table->add($upload);
      $upload = $table->{foo};
  
  =for example end
  
  =for example_testing
      ok $upload->isa("Apache::Upload");
  
  
  
  
  =head1 Apache::Cookie::Table
  
  These tables arise from the C<cookies> method of Apache::Cookie::Jar, and
  their values are Apache::Cookie objects (or Apache::Cookie derived objects- 
  see the discussion of C<VALUE_CLASS> in L<Apache::Cookie>).
  
  =for example begin
  
      my $cookie = Apache::Cookie->new($r, name =>"foo", value => "bar");
      my $table = Apache::Cookie::Table->new($r);
      $table->{foo} = $cookie;
      $cookie = $table->{foo};
  
  =for example end
      ok $cookie->isa("Apache::Cookie");
  
  =for example_testing
