For the most part, either POST or GET is fine (just don't mix the two unless you know what you're doing).

To get all of the params, you can do this:

use CGI ':cgi-lib';
$params  = Vars;
$address = $params->{address};
@foo     = split("\0",$params->{'foo'});

Of course, that uses the old-style "split on a null byte" to fake a data structure for multiple param values. As long as each param has only one instance, though, you can ignore this.

Another relatively simple method, if you don't mind all of your param values as array references:

use CGI qw':standard';
my %params = map { $_ => [param($_)] } param;
[download]

foreach my $i ( param() ){
...
}
[download]

This will work only for SINGLE-values

foreach my $n ($query->param) {   $param{$n} = $query->param($n);   }
[download]

try this too:
my( %param )= @_;

$query->import_names('R');

This creates a series of variables in the 'R' namespace. For example, 
$R::foo, @R:foo. For keyword lists, a variable @R::keywords will 
appear. If no namespace is given, this method will assume 'Q'. 
WARNING: don't import anything into 'main'; this is a major 
security risk!!!!

NOTE 1: Variable names are transformed as necessary into legal 
Perl variable names. All non-legal characters are transformed into 
underscores. If you need to keep the original names, you should 
use the param() method instead to access CGI variables by name.

NOTE 2: In older versions, this method was called import(). As of
version 2.20, this name has been removed completely to avoid 
conflict with the built-in Perl module import operator.
