This was also suggested by https://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=27 I see two ways to approach this: 1) add a new method; 'query_form_semi'? 2) extend the query_form with an initial argument that is the param separator. In case 2) we would assume the first argument is the separator if we where given an odd number of arguments. I think I like 2 the best. Regards, Gisle
