Looks good to me -- that's a big improvment.

That's fine with me, and I'm the current maintainer of CGI::Lite.

My only quibble is with this line:

> +       use CGI qw(:all);

That's importing many functions into the main namespace, which could be
a source of unexpected errors for a programmer who isn't familiar with
all of them.  Given that you only use one function in this example
wouldn't it be better simply to do:

  use CGI qw(param);
