Apparently I wasn't able to communicate my original problem very well. Either that, or I woke up on a different planet this morning. Using the snippet of code in my original post generates output like so: 
Subject: Mailed Campus Calendar Event

The question was whether or not there was a function similar to CGI::save_parameters() that generates the "unescaped" data as follows: 
Subject: Mailed Campus Calendar Event

or would it be a better idea to simply write a snippet to do it? I'll assume from the responses that a snippet is the way to go. BTW, I don't need help writing it, I was apparently mistaken that I had read a post within the last 7 months that pointed to a one-line substitution for CGI::save_parameters(). Thanks anyhow.

Update: I accomplished what I need with a one-liner: 

open (MAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t") or die "Can't fork sendmail: 
+$!";
print MAIL <<EOF;
From: Requestor@from.foo.net
To: Receiver@to.foo.net
Subject: Mailed Campus Calendar Event

EOF
### Note: All params are single-instance scalars.
print MAIL "$_: ", $query->param($_), "\n" foreach $query->param;
close (MAIL) or die "can't close sendmail: $!";
