It was easy enough to build the libapreq2 package using COPR. It required perl-ExtUtils-XSBuilder to build. Here is my repo with the packages if you don't want to build your own: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/faramirza/al2023/packages/

According to https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libapreq2

libapreq is a shared library with associated modules for manipulating client request data via the Apache API. Functionality includes parsing of application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data content, as well as HTTP cookies.

@daniejstriata Can you add these installation instructions? Thanks for the repo! Without the repository at the end you get this error: "Repository 'epel-2023-x86_64' does not exist in project 'faramirza/al2023'."

For x86_64:

dnf copr enable faramirza/al2023 amazonlinux-2023-x86_64 dnf install libapreq2 perl-libapreq2

For aarch64:

dnf copr enable faramirza/al2023 amazonlinux-2023-aarch64 dnf install libapreq2 perl-libapreq2
