I'm testing a module using URI::URL, and it refuses to call query() on
the URL created by google (lines should be merged...):

   as_miny%3D1981%26as_maxd%3D26%26as_maxm%3D10%26as_maxy%3D2005%2
   6num%3D50%26as_scoring%3Dr%26&_doneTitle=Back+to+Search&&d#30a2
   34783d298f2e

The error message is

 Form query contains escaped '=' or '&' (you must call equery)

Of course, equery() works; however, I would prefer to have the result
of query()... Can somebody explain the reason behind this madness?
How to avoid this?

Thanks,
Ilya
