Yes it is shared assuming you do it like this:

use CGI (); CGI->compile(':cgi');

where :cgi might be replaced with whatever tag set you commonly use.
Otherwise CGI.pm pulls in code as it runs, after the forking happens.

Personally, I feel that any memory wasted, despite being shared, is
waste.  That's why I only use the CGI interface part of CGI.pm...
