    I cannot control the formatting of the URL as it is generated by another system.

    I think I will have to use $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} and try retrieving the params and values that way.

    Thanks for your input,

      Indeed. CGI parses the URL queries as it they were x-www-form-urlencoded format(*). Since your URL queries is in another format, you'll have to find yourself an appropriate parser for that format.
