I have started using Apache::AuthCookie, which runs under mod_perl,

Since I can't port the scripts from mod_cgi to mod_perl, how can I 
make a CGI script call a mod_perl method?

Thanks for any help.
let's say you have a script:

print Content-type: text/plain\n\n;
print Hello whoever you are\n;
now you change it to be:

my $r = shift;
my $username = $r-connection-user || '';
print Content-type: text/plain\n\n;
print Hello $username\n;
or:

my $r = Apache-request;
my $username = $r-connection-user || '';
print Content-type: text/plain\n\n;
print Hello $username\n;
This is correct for mp1.

You can't.  When you run a script under mod_cgi, mod_perl functions are
not available.  However, you could try running your scripts under
Apache::Registry, and then you'd be able to use the mod_perl API.
