I'd like to get people's opinions on how PGAS should deal with characters such as literal \0's and binary stuff that ends up looking like on the post-mortem.
Obviously, the easiest solution is to explicitly disallow stuff like that and force people (Ton & Eugene) to use the longer versions of the characters. But I don't like that. Lars brought up the idea of using syntax like %00 to be interpreted as binary zero. This isn't done automatically, but by checking off a checkbox on the submit page that would run CGI::unescape on the code prior to any processing, I think it could work. What does everyone think about this? If the CGI::unescape option were implemented, we would be left with the problem of the post-mortem. How should these characters be displayed? TIA, --Dave
