try data : { value1: 'value1' },

Here is my working test, an html page

<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery-2.0.2.min.js"></script>
<title>test-ajax.htm</title>
<script>
 $.ajax({
   url: 'process.cgi',
    // The type of request.
   type: "get",
   data : { value1: 'value1' },
   success: function( data ){
     alert(data);
     $( "#value1" ).html( "<strong>" + data + "</strong>" );
   }
 });
</script>
</head>
<body>
<span style="background-color:yellow" id="value1">?</span>
</body>
</html>

and a process.cgi script.

#!perl
# process.cgi
use strict;
use CGI;
my $q = CGI->new;
print $q->header;
print $q->start_html,
'Data returned is '.$q->param('value1'),
$q->end_html;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
