I have a redirect that passes a value thanks to help from here. It passes one word entries using a Perl action form then redirects value to my ASP action page. The problem is it wont pass two or more word entries. If I enter one word such as OneWord it works great, but if I enter a string like this OneWord NextWord into my form entry it doesnt work and gives me the error: 
HTTP Error 400

400 Bad Request

Due to malformed syntax, the request could not be understood by the se
+rver. The client should not repeat the request without modifications.

Here is the redirect part: 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard); #Perl web CGI module
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);


my $query = new CGI;
my $name = $query->param("name");
print $query->redirect("http://webserver/action.asp?name=$name");

Please advise how I can get it to accept more than one word in the form entry for my name field.
