Well, when I use cgis that run under Registry, if I modify a pm file, I have
to restart the web server before I see changes. If I modify the top level cgi,
I don't have to restart the web server. This tells me the modules are parsed
only the first time and the top level cgi is parsed every time it runs. So,
for my setup, using mod_perl does not reduce reparsing if my code is not in
modules.
Hope this clarifies.

Not to gang up on you, Chuck, but the question was about running things
under Apache::Registry, so the script would not be parsed every time.
A::R does a stat on the file every time, but doesn't parse it again
unless it has changed.
Scripts are parsed every time when running under CGI instead of
mod_perl, but in that case the modules are parsed every time too.
