See example script below. It makes use of cgi-lib which is in the listing below.
Sorry for the long post.

# hash, but the data from $in and @in will become inaccessable.

# information is stored there, rather than in $in, @in, and %in.
# Second, third, and fourth parameters fill associative arrays analagous to
# %in with data relevant to file uploads.

# of the form: name=value and any text that is in $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}
