hmm... RFC1630 says:

| QUERY STRINGS
|     [...]
| Within the query string, the plus sign is reserved as shorthand
| notation for a space.  Therefore, real plus signs must be encoded.
| This method was used to make query URIs easier to pass in systems
| which did not allow spaces.

at least the german embperl docu show an example where

<A HREF="http://host/script?name=[+$n+]>

is expanded to
http://host/script?name=Mein+Name

... that's why i ask at all :)
