in reply to common replacement code ill-understood

By the way, that looks an awful lot like a url-decoder. Do yourself a favour and use CGI instead.

    You can use CGI to decode parameters, but it won't decode the main url part. CGI doesn't have a generic %-unescape routine.

      To escape and unescape URI/URL escape characters, use URI::Escape. A very handy module.
