According to my CGI.pm docs for 2.74, it still does this. From the section labeled "DEBUGGING":

If you are running the script from the command line or in the perl debugger, you can pass the script a list of keywords or parameter=value pairs on the command line or from standard input (you don't have to worry about tricking your script into reading from environment variables). You can pass keywords like this: your_script.pl keyword1 keyword2 keyword3 or this: your_script.pl keyword1+keyword2+keyword3

Questions, if I may:
1) To you have the -no_debug option on in your use statement?
2) What is different between the OSes/Perl versions you run 2.56 and 2.74 on?

Check out that section I mention above in CGI's documentation, and make sure you're using a command structure that isn't getting hosed by Win32's shell.
