Yes, I'd read that section several times before posting. I understand that the setting is enabled at some points, disabled at others, and can be enabled. I don't have an old version if CGI.pm, and I don't understand what that has to do with anything. It seems to do more than just setup the global $r object, since it changes the way all my globals behave.
I'd like to know if people want access to $r in their modules, and if so, do they pass their modules $r, or do they turn on GlobalRequest, and is it a sane thing to do?
the best and the safest approach is to pass it around.
You could also use a Singleton. There are a few of them on CPAN and there is one example how to write your own in the "Practical mod_perl" book.

What does GlobalRequest do exactly, and is there a better way to get Apache->request in modules?
