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.

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.
