Re: hash to query string using semicolon

And you don't have to go all the way to QueryParam; depending on your needs. URI proper supports it now: $uri->query_form( \%hash, $delim ).

I should have included that this can be set globally with `$URI::DEFAULT_QUERY_FORM_DELIMITER = ";";`. I know it's mildly controversial with the current RFCs but the `&` as standard was always a mistake since it effectively made real world separators the incredibly clunky `&`. As long as you support or know the receiving end supports the semicolon, I think it's the best practice. While I'm telling you kids to get off my lawn, the `?arg[0]=foo&arg[1]=bar` crap we got from PHP and ruby webdevs being unable to parse naked lists in order is also a travesty.
