Thanks. I rarely use "Vars" any more in favor of param(), but I agree it sounds like it could be a good fit here, in combination with a hash comparison function.

I'm recalling that the other piece of wanting this is that the query strings will stored in a database column, and I want them in a canonical form for that, so that two identical queries in a different order will be represented the same.

For that, it sounds like I really do need a "sorted_query_string()" method, which I could supply as a plugin or new method to CGI.pm

Thanks to everyone for the feedback!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
