it's there, but you need to invoke as:
%args = $r->Apache::args;
(also works with 1.x)

perl-script is not just backwards compat, it is for a CGI-ish
environment. sets up %ENV, *STD{IN,OUT}, etc. whereas the 'modperl' does
nothing special, just calls the handlers.
unlike 1.x, 2.x does not load anything unless you tell it to.
loading of Apache::compat will not be made automatic, its a 1-line config
change in httpd.conf:
PerlModule Apache::compat
that's pretty painless considering what it takes to port a C module.
