Withdrawn: Stupid mistake found.

OK, what did I do wrong? I thought I knew this stuff already... 

 my $re= qr/[^-_.~A-Za-z0-9!*'();:@&=+\$,\/?#\[\]]/;
 use bytes;
 $linkref =~ s/($linkref)/sprintf("%%%02X",ord($1))/ge;

Rather than replace every verboten character with the escape sequence, $linkref winds up being a string that contains only one escape sequence, even if the original string shouldn't have needed anything escaped at all.

I know I'm making one or more basic errors here, but I'm just not seeing it. I need a break, and maybe another pair of eyes.

Thanks,
—John

P.S. writing \$1 instead of $1 doesn't fix it, though I do seem to be getting different single codes. It's stuck on %53 now, rather than being different each time.
