This is because the CGI variables are emitted in a random order - I expect there's a `keys` call.

I believe it would be better to sort those, so that semantically identical URLs with CGI args will always have the same canonical "spelling", so one can most easily see at a glance whether one has previously visited them.

    I have no idea what this post is about. Can you give an example?

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

      He's referring to the fact that
      /index.pl?node_id=3184;displaytype=raw;ticker=yes
      and
      /index.pl?node_id=3184;ticker=yes;displaytype=raw
      are logically identical.
