Just because the server is built with mod_perl, that does not mean your
scripts are being handled by mod_perl. If they are being handled by mod_cgi,
then mod_perl is not an issue here.
The easiest way to tell is to communicate with the sysadmin of the server.
But you can also write a small script that displays the value of
$ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE}. If it says "CGI/1.1", then you are running under
mod_cgi. If it says "CGI-Perl/1.1", you are running under some kind of
mod_perl handler (probably Apache::Registry). This test may not be
fool-proof, so looking at the server configuration is still the best way.
If your scripts are running under Apache::Registry, there are various things
that could cause problems, the most notable being the fact that global
variables are not reinitialized at the start of each request.
