You probably may want to know that the later version of CGI does support XForms Model POST, both as application/xml and as multipart/related. When you do such a post, the XML is available through the query param XForms:Model. As in CGI.pm

      # Process XForms postings. We know that we have XForms in the
      # following cases:
      # method eq 'POST' && content-type eq 'application/xml'
      # method eq 'POST' && content-type =~ /multipart\/related.+start
+=/
      # There are more cases, actually, but for now, we don't support 
+other
      # methods for XForm posts.
      # In a XForm POST, the QUERY_STRING is parsed normally.
      # If the content-type is 'application/xml', we just set the para
+m
      # XForms:Model (referring to the xml syntax) param containing th
+e
      # unparsed XML data.
      # In the case of multipart/related we set XForms:Model as above,
+ but
      # the other parts are available as uploads with the Content-ID a
+s the
      # the key.
      # See the URL below for XForms specs on this issue.
