For starters, your example #4 can be shortened down to the following line. This will create a hash in the exact same way as your example does, without any loop structure:

my %data = $q->Vars;

Another method of working around this is using CGI.pm's import_names() method. This method takes all of the input to the script and created variables in a seperate namespace, using the parameter names as variable names. Here's an example. Load it as script.pl?name=You&text=Hello :

use CGI ':standard';
my $q = new CGI;
$q->import_names('Input'); # Replace 'Input' with any name

print <<"DONE";
Content-type: text/html\n
<html><body>
  Your Name: $Input::name<br>
  Your Text: $Input::text
</body></html>
DONE
