It seems that somewhere you pass two arguments to uri_escape. This I can't confirm, because I have no idea how Apache::Request's param function works. Normally, I'd read the manual and tell you, or read the source if the manual lacks information about the return type. However, Apache::Request is not pure perl and its documentation doesn't say clearly _how_ it returns values.

As long as you have this problem, it's probably better to take this script down, because if someone has an email address of foo@{[ `some nasty thing like rm -rf /` ]}, you're not going to like the results.

An alternative to URI::Escape's uri_escape is: 

sub alt_uri_escape {
    my ($text) = @_;
    $text =~ s/([^A-Za-z0-9\-_.!~*'()])/sprintf "%%%02x", ord $1/ge;
    return $text;
}

Please not that this differs in two ways. It doesn't take an optional second parameter to define your own range, and it doesn't use a hash lookup, which is a bit more efficient than this sprintf eval.
