I was asking why the OP thought so. Now we'll never know for sure.

BTW:URL encoding is easily applied after the interpolation.

    Not without possible data loss. 

    my $value = 'foo&bar=baz';
my $key   = 'something'

my $url1 = encode_url("http://example.com/script?$value=$key");
my $url2 = 'http://example.com/script?%s=%s', map encode_url_chunk($_)
+, $key, $value;

    For proper working functions encode_url and encode_url_chunk (which have to encode different things, of course) the outcome will be different.

    No it's not. The encoder would have no way to know which "?" (for example) are separators (can't be encoded) and which "?" are data (must be encoded).
