Your errors are:
1) using the most current version of MacPerl :>)
2) not keeping up with the list  ;>)

I asked the same question early last month, and got the reply below.
I have not seen anything on the list that provides a clue on when
a 5.004 based version of MacPerl will be available.

You can access the ENV variables directly by name:
    $qstr = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
and after such references, the variables will then
show up in the %ENV array. But since you have already
used them, it doesn't help much.
