I'm not sure. Truth be told, I haven't tried it. Thinking about
it, there's only one combination of conditions where I wonder how
it could work: when using the OO interface of CGI.pm in the main
script, processing a POST request, and trying to get the CGI
params via TT:P:CGI. The POST data would already have been
consumed and subsequently stored in an object not accessible
to TT:P:CGI by the time it comes into play.

Of course, you can just pass the CGI instance variable to the
template and call methods on it. This also avoids the need to
load the plugin. Which is why I never bothered to find out about
the potential problem mentioned above.

Well, while I don't want to spoonfeed people when I could help
them get more out of it than the immediate answer they need (give
a man a fish vs teach a man to fish, yadda yadda), I know it is
easy to become patronising.. I try my best to find a balance, but
end up torn most of the time anyway.
