CGI in Perl

Hi,
Am unfamiliar with using CGI modules in Perl.
Though i checked in few sites about CGI , i dint get a clear idea.
Can anyone please explain me the purpose of these statements, it ll be very helpful to me

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use Storable;
use Data::Dumper;
my $variable = {};

$variable->{data}->{file} = retrieve("$variable->{sys}->{datadir}/file.storable.current");
{
statements....
}
  for my $sgroup (keys(%{$variable->{data}->{net}->{sgroups}})) 
{
statements
}

if ($globals->{data}->{net}->{sgroups}->{$sgroup}->{$servername}->{$serverport} eq $server) {
statements
}

 
%{$variables->{switches}} = map {
  my @values = para($_);
  $_ => $#values
    ? \@values
    : $values[0]
  } param();
for my $server (@{$servicegroups->{$servicegroup}}) 
{
statments
}


Thanks in advance

NAME
CGI::XML - Perl extension for converting CGI.pm variables to/from XML SYNOPSIS
use CGI::XML; $q = new CGI::XML; # convert CGI.pm variables to XML $xml = $q->toXML; $xml = $q->toXML($root); # convert XML to CGI.pm variables $q->toCGI($xml); DESCRIPTION
The CGI::XML module converts CGI.pm variables to XML and vice versa. CGI::XML is a subclass of CGI.pm, so it reads the CGI variables just as CGI.pm would. METHODS
$q = new CGI::XML creates a new instance of CGI::XML. You also have access to all of the methods in CGI.pm. $q->toXML([$root]) where $root is an optional parameter that specifies the root element. By default, toXML will not return a root element. $q->toCGI($xml) where $xml is the XML you would like to convert to CGI.pm parameters. Values in the XML will overwrite any existing values if they exist. NOTE
CGI::XML does not currently handle multiple selections passed from HTML forms. This will be added in a future release. AUTHOR
