You can use CGI as long as you use Apache::compat.

Are you sure about this? According to the porting docs you can use CGI.pm with mod_perl2 as long as you use version 2.93 or greater.

CGI.pm is capable of taking the apache request object so it can deal with any mod_perl specific issues (like cleaning up globals) that need to be done. The more people that try it, the quicker it will be release quality.

my $r = Apache->request;
my $query = CGI->new($r);

Note that to get access to the Apache->request object you may need to activate 'PerlOptions +GlobalRequest' in your apache config.

Also, the Apache::Request module for mod_perl2 is coming along nicely. Although it is not quite ready for production, I don't think it will be much longer.

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.
