So, what's the qusetion?

The docs for search.cgi say:

    The template can be placed in its own file if you like.  That's the
    normal way templates are used.  It's in the __DATA__ section in this
    script so that only one file is needed.  If you run under mod_perl
    or SpeedyCGI you must use a separate template file.

You can check like this:

$ perl -MCGI -le 'print $CGI::VERSION'
3.01

Although you might need different quotes on Windows.

Again, try explicitly setting +GlobalRequest in your config.  Otherwise,
I'm just guessing since I don't use mod_perl 2.   You might need to pass
$r to the CGI->new call:

sub handler {
    my $r = shift;
    process_request($r);
}



sub process_request {
    my $r = shift;
    my $cgi = CGI->new($r);  # could also be Apache::Request or other fast access to CGI
    my $query = $cgi->param('query');


Personally, I'd use Apache::Request under mod_perl 1.  Should be a drop-in
replacement for CGI.pm except that you would also need to replace
$cgi->header.  For mod_perl 2, you would need to look at the docs.  I'm
not sure of the status of Apache::Request under mod_perl 2.  I just see
examples using CGI.pm in the perl.apache.org docs.
