libapreq2 (Apache2::Request) does this kind of stuff, or you can use a
framework that sits on top of mod_perl that handles it for you. If you
want to write raw handlers, the libapreq2 is probably the way to go.

Try this:
my %params = $r->args;
my $lang = $params{lang};

$r->args(); just produces a string.

Do I really have to parse strings myself or is there a method
that was undocumented in version 2.xxxx09?
The manual page right where this would be explained says it needs

Apologies, the existing documentation implies that Apache2::Request
was gone. Left me very confused.
Working now. :-)

I've been a bit overwhelmed by having lost my server when company
distcontinued offering servers and bouncing around trying to find a
suitable server and get a working laptop! Trying to get a friend's
Windows laptop working with an old firefox and an old version of Java
was a couple of days of frustration!

Thanks,
