Kevin,
It's time to step up to The Guide (tm):
http://perl.apache.org/guide/
You can continue to use CGI.pm in mod_perl if you like, but you can
also use the Apache::Request object in almost the exact same way as
CGI query objects (at least for calling params() and the like for form
values). You'll probably see a performance increase if you quit using
CGI.pm, but you can also make up a lot by loading it in the parent
process.
