The webserver in most setups starts a "fresh" copy of the CGI program.  
Basically it runs a separate program.  mod_access is an apache module 
and only affects the apache program and not any programs that apache 
might start.

I would recommend changing programs or filtering out special characters 
as other have suggested.  Also look into running apache as a separate 
user.  Don't run it as root or nobody.
