Can MacPerl use "unexpected" AppleEvent parameters?

Can MacPerl use "unexpected" AppleEvent parameters?

Explanation: I would like to send MacPerl some parameters from another app,
TangoFM.  I would use the ENVT param -> %ENV, but Tango cannot send lists
as AE params -- just strings.

My current workaround is to send a bunch of params to an AppleScript, which
sends a proper ENVT list param to MacPerl. Kinda slow and I would like to
speed it up, this is for CGI.

So, I would like to be able to send a MacPerl script other params, e.g.
PRM1, PRM2, PRM3 that aren't in the aete resource.

According to a poster in comp.sys.mac.programming.misc, the unexpected AE
params are still available in theory. Can I use MacPerl to grab them?

(Sorry if this is clearly in the AE pod documentation, but I can't make
much sense of it. It all seems to be relating to sending AE's, anyway. Just
being difficult :)
