As suggested by choroba, I used two submit buttons and that got me what I wanted to do. Code is something like: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use Data::Dumper;
use CGI qw/:standard/;

my $query = new CGI;
print $query->header;

my $formStatus = $query->param('submitButton');
my $buttonStatus = $query->param('resetButton');
print "Value of \$formStatus is: $formStatus". localtime()."\n";
print "Value of \$buttonStatus is: $buttonStatus". localtime()."\n";

print "<html>\n";
    print "<head>\n";
    print "</head>\n";
print "<body>\n";
    print "<form id=\"form1\" method=\"post\" class=\"admin-form\">\n"
+;
    print "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submitButton\" value=\"Submit
+\" id=\"button1\"/>\n";
    print"<input type=\"submit\" name=\"resetButton\" value=\"Reset\" 
+id=\"button2\"/>\n";
    print "</form>\n";    
print "</body>\n";
print "</html>\n";
