I want to update this part of a script on Unix OS where it is using the pack to decode data entry and instead use the CGI module to do it

Here is the current part: 


use strict;
sub parse_form 
{
   # Get the input
   read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});

   # Split the name-value pairs
   my @pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
   my $name;
   my $value;

   foreach my $pair (@pairs) 
   {

      ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);

      $value =~ tr/+/ /;
      $value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
      
      $FORM{$name} = $value;
   }
}

My attempt using the CGI param method hopefully to bring this script up to date using the CGI module: 
use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);
sub parse_form
{
   # Get the input
   read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});

   # Split the name-value pairs
   my @pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
   my $name;
   my $value;

   foreach my $pair (@pairs)
  {
        foreach my $stuff (param($pair))
        {

      ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $stuff);

      $FORM{$name} = $value;
   }
}

Please advise what I am doing wrong because it doesnt want to work?
