You are using a newer version of CGI.pm. This has moved to a more object
oriented approach, i.e. you create a CGI object and access the parameters
through that:

my $cgi = new CGI;
my $favourite = $cgi->param('flavour');

However, you can still use the non-object oriented version by doing:

use CGI qw/:standard/;

my $favourite = param('flavour');
