You covered yourself by stating that you are not big on CGI.pm, but i really feel like i should nitpick as this is a very common mistake: 

use CGI qw(:all);
my $cgi = CGI->new;

That is mixing the two styles you use CGI as: procedural versus OO. Always use one, but never use both. That is, you either use this: 
# import CGI's functions into my namespace
use CGI qw(:all);

print header, start_html( ... ), h1('HTML Body'), end_html;

or you use this: 
use CGI;

# access CGI's functions as object methods
my $cgi = CGI->new;

print $cgi->header ... (yadda yadda)
