When I use perlmonks shortcuts to the perldocs it goes to the page but not down to the anchor location on the page like the full link does. The apostrophe and the percent symbol are being replaced with things like '%27' and '%25'.

If I link with the full url like this it works. http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfaq5.html#How-can-I-use-Perl's--i-option-from-within-a-program%3f

However, this goes to the page but not the anchor. The text below shows what I have in the link at the word 'this'.

[doc://perlfaq5#How-can-I-use-Perl's--i-option-from-within-a-program%3f|this]

Update: Interesting; the full link doesn't go to the anchor with an actual question mark in it. http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfaq5.html#How-can-I-use-Perl's--i-option-from-within-a-program?
