I thought I had a quick answer to the poster's question. The hash character in the fragment was URI escaped. While I was trying to craft a reply I noticed a problem with a link I was trying to create:

How does this markup 

<a href ="http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=Site%20How%20To#where
+doipost">http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=Site%20How%20To#where
+doipost</a>

[download]

...become a link with this href?

http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?parent=164085&title=Please%20fix%20W
+here%20do%20I%20post%20X&lastnode_id=164085&displaytype=display&type=
+superdoc&node=Comment%20on

[download]

This link demonstrates the problem:
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=Site%20How%20To#wheredoipost

Is this a bug or a feature?

Update
After submission the link href has been changed yet again. Should I be using '[url]' instead?
