Ah...my first suggestion would have been to look at the CGI.pm *docs* :-)
Particularly at the section entitled "Migrating from cgi-lib" (which you're
apparently doing -- if you intend to use CGI as Lincoln intended, then you
need to start at the top of the docs :)

Anyway -- you need to setup your script in *this* fashion:

    use CGI qw(:cgi-lib);
    ReadParse();

to use ReadParse().
