Yes, you can get CGI.pm to work for you.
You just need to unescape the xml that you receive from the post, like this :
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw/unescape/;
use strict;
my $cgi = new CGI;
print $cgi->header;
my $xml = $cgi->param('xml');
print unescape($xml);
And your previous, own rolled, rigthly merlin steaming version ;^) would work if you had not forgoten the proverbial print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; before trying to output the https error codes.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
