Is the problem /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc/irc.cgi:cgi_encode()?
sub cgi_encode { # from CGI.pm
my $toencode = shift;
$toencode=~s/([^a-zA-Z0-9_.-])/uc sprintf("%%%02x",ord($1))/eg;
return $toencode;
}It tries to escape nonalphnumeric characters. Or maybe escapehtml in ie.pm? Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
