This code should give you the desired behaviour

Update: ah. I see CGI already has this method (even if it is implemented in a somewhat funky fashion).

use Symbol qw/ qualify_to_ref gensym /;

sub CGI::import_names {
  my($self, $pkg) = @_;
  
  $pkg .= '::'
    if substr($pkg, -2) ne '::';
  
  my $tbl = qualify_to_ref $pkg;
  for($self->param) {
    my @vals = $self->param($_);
    my $glob = gensym;
    
    *$glob = @vals > 1 ? \@vals : @vals == 1 ? \$vals[0] : \undef;
    *$tbl->{$_} = $glob;
  } 
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
