hi monks, I have a problem with CGI::Vars. my $vars = $cgi->Vars; print STDERR "CGI VARS: " . Dumper($vars) . "\n"; When I print out the key/value pairs of Vars, I see that '+' signs, which must have been in the values have been translated to spaces:(. The rest of the characters are still excaped and they should have been. Do you know why this weird behavior is showing and if there is a way that I could view the values in their raw format(no weird "+" sign substitutions)? I do not want to to run a regex that will substitute the " " with a "+". Thank you very much!
