What is the syntax for passing these values through the url?

The reason your code doesn't handle your request is because parameters
embedded in the URL are in
$ENV{QUERY_STRING} and are considered a GET request. Your snippet reads
the parameters from
STDIN, which is how POST requests are handled.
The simple way to deal with both (and to eliminate your code):
use CGI qw/:cgi-lib/;
use strict;
my %pairs = Vars;
That snippet deals with either GET or POST requests.
