Greetings;
I have discovered that under some conditions QUERY_STRING is set and
under other conditions QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED is set. I can detect
these conditions but I can't find out how to get the contents of
QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED transformed to the form it would be in
QUERY_STRING in a variable that I can parse and process with the same
routines I use when QUERY_STRING is set. I don't want to have to write
a separate routine for each case.
CPAN has been no help, nor any of the various tutorials and
documentation sites.
Has anybody encountered and solved this problem already?
I think you are looking for the CGI module. If you are finding yourself
writing $ENV{....}, then you are not using the CGI module, and you
should be, probably. There are many tutorials on using the CGI module
and the documentation is fairly comprehensible. The CGI module will
take care of parsing the query string (for GET requests) as well as POST
data, all with the same interface.

Sean,
Thanks, but no cigar. CGI and several modules on CPAN will
process QUERY_STRING but I can't find any modules that do
anything with QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED. And unfortunately, it isn't
as simple as $QUERY_STRING = $QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED;
