cgi-lib to cgi

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

In CGI module doc. It state "COMPATIBILITY WITH CGI-LIB.PL"

Then it said "OLD VERSION require "cgi-lib.pl"; &ReadParse; print "The value of the antique is $in{antique}.\n";

NEW VERSION use CGI; CGI::ReadParse; print "The value of the antique is $in{antique}.\n";"

But for Form/input ...in cgi-lib used this

#!/usr/bin/perl

require "cgi-lib.pl";

&ReadParse(*input);

$uname= $input{'username'};
........

But it wouldn't work in CGI. So how to make it work using CGI module.
