I'm not sure I understand your comment.  I know you cannot use __DATA__
in Apache::Registry scripts, and I thought when I tested that __DATA__ 
won't work in handlers.

I'm not a mod_perl 2 user so I can't answer.  But I read in the docs
that GlobalRequest is set by default for response handlers.
Anyway, did you try setting +GlobalRequest like it suggests?

Which version of CGI.pm do you have?  I also see some notes about that
being an issue:

  http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_GlobalRequest_

You mean that just by setting use_library => 1 that you start getting
this error?


By the way, you might consider using the search.cgi example program
instead of swish.cgi.  swish.cgi is bloated with features to make it
work for a number of different uses via the config settings.
search.cgi, on the other hand, is suppose to be a skeleton of a script
that you can more easily customize.  And it's a lot smaller.
