• What is the "problem" with the CGI.pm module?
• What are you trying to do and what do you expect? (posting a snippet of code that doesn't behave the way you expect it to would be useful)
• See merlyn's explanation of how you can always use CGI.pm.

Further, your question about how to split "the contents of a form" is very vague. I really have no idea what you're wanting to do and thus cannot offer advice. If you tell us what the problem is with CGI.pm and post a code snippet, that would go a long way to allowing us to better answer your question.

Cheers,
Ovid
