I highly suggest you use CGI.pm.  My example is with it (I also 
highly suggest an OO approach).

$q = CGI->new();
my @keys = $q->param;
foreach my $key (@keys) {
        print "$key: $v<br>\n" if $debug ==1;
        $f{$key} = "$v";
}

and just set debug to 1. Or perhaps just assign a value to debug and 
then you don't need the '=='.  I also use that routine to strip 
newlines and other things.
