OK, thanks.
I must admit I'm a bit confused about the problem. Could you please
give a simple test case (either a command-line version or a CGI script)
with the current result and the one you'd expect?
As far as I can see (looking at 3.29), url(-path-info=>1) will unescape()
the PATH_INFO variable into 8-bit characters and then encode those manually
into URL encoding with sprintf() as the last thing in the url() function.
I can't see CGI::Util::escape() being called here - are you calling
that manually?
I do get your point about the idempotency of course:
% perl -MCGI::Util=escape,unescape -E 'say escape(unescape("%E4"))'
%C3%A4
but it's not clear to me what this breaks, particularly as those aren't
public subroutines.
Sorry if I'm being dense.
