Second, more important, we do _parameters processing_, it means renaming parameters (e.g. 'file_name' in params is 'p' in CGI URI), in the future perhaps passing project via PATH_INFO not in query string, and sorting the CGI parameters. So it wouldn't be as easy as writing $uri->query_form(\%params); return $uri->as_string; or as return "$my_uri?" . esc_param(join(";", "$_=$params{$_}") keys %params)'. -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
