If the query string needs something like Curtis "Ovid" Poe, it gets encoded like this:
name=Curtis%20%22Ovid%22%20Poe
Check out the URI::Escape module for information on how to handle this properly.
And before Randal chews us out for not mentioning this :), the ampersands in your href
should be
changed to & For example:
color=red&color=blue&name=Curtis "Ovid" Poe
Becomes
color=red&color=blue&name=Curtis%20%22Ovid%22%20Poe
Cheers,
Curtis "Ovid" Poe
