Since you're instantiating a new CGI object, you don't need qw(:standard).
That imports the CGI
methods as functions. If you're using the OO interface, the import is
superfluous.

That works, but it will only work for the POST method. If you find a need
to change from a POST
to a GET, this code will break. The following will work for either method:
my $query = CGI->new;
Also, I think this discussion would be better handled on the CGI beginners
list.
