Ok, so you don't have to use CGI.pm to write tags, but if you don't use CGI.pm to parse the incoming parameters, you are asking for trouble. At the very least, try something like this in your distro.pl file: 
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw(:standard);

print header,start_html;

if (param('Spedisci')) {
   print pre(
      'nome = ', param('nome'), "\n",
      'conosciuto = ', param('conosciuto'), "\n",
      'distro = ', param('distro'), "\n",
   );
} else {
   print "nothing submitted!";
}

print end_html;
