Hmmm, CGI.pm documentation is a bit vague in this area. I'm looking
at http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/

| query_string()
| Returns a query string suitable for maintaining state.

Does this mean it's in URLencoded form, or not?

At any rate, anyone who's using -oldstyle_urls should take note of
what it says about the need for HTML-escaping ampersands.

cheers
