I always do something like this when using CGI.pm:

foreach ($query->param) {
	$$_ = $query->param($_);
}

Saves plenty of typing ;) Of course, you could always just select a few variables to use:

foreach (qw(alpha bravo charlie)) {
	$$_ = $query->param($_);
}

Which gives you $alpha, $bravo and $charlie with the values returned from the form. HTH :-)
