This is what I have so far 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

my $q = new CGI;

$q->param(-name=>'cmd',-value=>'_notify-validate');

# read post from PayPal system and add 'cmd'
#read (STDIN, my $query, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
#$query .= '&cmd=_notify-validate';

# post back to PayPal system to validate
use LWP::UserAgent;
my ($ua,$req,$res);
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$req = new HTTP::Request 'POST','http://www.eliteweaver.co.uk/testing/
+ipntest.php';
$req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$req->content($q);
$res = $ua->request($req);

I need to add the cmd = _notify-validate name, value pair to the post string and then send it back out using LWP. When I send it out I am sending the CGI object itself out. ---- Now, here is some code that seems to do the trick well but I want to use the CGI module to do this (if possible) This is not my code, it is paypal's 
# read post from PayPal system and add 'cmd'
read (STDIN, $query, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
$query .= '&cmd=_notify-validate';

# post back to PayPal system to validate
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$req = new HTTP::Request 'POST','http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr'
+;
$req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$req->content($query);
$res = $ua->request($req);
