Not really. What you've taken from that page is a brief synopsis of how
that particular module is used - not a complete script example. It
assumes you've already set up $r pointing to the Apache request object,
perhaps using something like this:

  ...
  sub handler {
      my $r = shift;
  ...

For mod_perl basics, this doc would be a good place to start:

 http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/start_fast.html

possibly followed by this one:

  http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/coding/coding.html  

I'd also recommend trying the mod_perl mailing list when you get
stuck. People there are generally very helpful toward users of all
levels.
