On second thought, no. You can in fact encode anything in a URI. URI::Escape can't know what to decode to. So *I believe* it just unescapes the raw bytes. It might be handy for it to have a new function, though, to complement its uri_escape_utf() function: sub uri_unescape_utf8 { Encode::decode_utf8(uri_unescape(@_)) } Just to make things a bit clearer. But that's a separate issue from the, erm, inconsistency with which PL/Perl treats encoding and decoding of its inputs and outputs.
