That code will still work when using the procedural interface to
CGI.pm. I tested the following code on my box (Mandrake 7.1/Perl
5.6.0/CGI-2.74):
: #/usr/bin/perl -w
: use CGI qw(:standard);
: print CGI->escape('C++'); # works; displays: "C%2B%2B"
: # as well as
: print CGI::escape('C++'); # same
If you want to use escape() without explicitly stating the CGI package,
you have to import it thus:
: use CGI qw(:standard escape);
: print escape('C++');
