How about even more simply and efficiently using methods provided by CGI.pm ... 
        my %input = CGI::Vars;

[download]

While it works, Vars was really intended for compatability with the old cgi-lib.pl library, and so such shares the same quirks, like null (\0) seperated values for any multi-valued parameters.

Instead, I'd use CGI's Dump method...

Dumping Out All The Name/Value Pairs

The Dump() method produces a string consisting of all the query's name/value pairs formatted nicely as a nested list. This is useful for debugging purposes: 

   print $query->Dump

Produces something that looks like this: 

   <UL>
   <LI>name1
       <UL>
       <LI>value1
       <LI>value2
       </UL>
   <LI>name2
       <UL>
       <LI>value1
       </UL>
   </UL>

    --k.
