First, don't process the QUERY_STRING by hand! Let CGI do that. For instance, parameters might get passed using ';' as a separator rather than '&'. See Ovid's CGI Course for more on that.

That said, the following would do 

use CGI;
my $q = CGI->new;

my @list  = map { $q->param('xxx'.$_) } 1 .. $q->param('xxxc');
# values now sequential in @list.

For not duplicating the values into @list, use 

foreach my $index (1 .. $q->param('xxxc') ) {
    my $value = $q->param('xxx' . $index);
    # now do whatever with the value
    ...
}

If you absolutely want your %INPUT hash, you get it populated with 

%INPUT = $q->Vars;
