Re^2: CGI::Vars weirdness

The semicolon is also a valid separator for key-value pairs in URL-encoded query strings... but don't parse query strings by hand. You'll get it wrong.

Not quite. "`;`" is a valid separator for HTTP URLs, but not for application/x-www-form-urlencoded (i.e. form) data. In other words, you may assign URLs any meaning you wish to "`;`" in URLs to resources you control, but it's by no means equivalent to "`&`" unless you choose it to be for those resources. You shouldn't impose your choice as fact onto others.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
