RE: Does CGI.pm have escapeURL?
The HTML escaping feature of CGI is called with 'use CGI qw(:escapeHTML);'.
It must be called explicitly or it will not be imported into your namespace.
As a function it can be called as escapeHTML("some stuff & some other
stuff") though I'm sure you can use the OO method.
The URL escaping feature is similar, called with 'use CGI qw(:escape);'.

The URL encoding versions are in CGI::Util and are just called 'escape' and
'unescape'. I don't know why they are not documented in the CGI perldoc, or
even the CGI::Util perldoc. I guess they are considered private, although
they are handy.

RE: Does CGI.pm have escapeURL?
Try 'escapeHTML()'. -Original Message- From: John Brooking [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 12:49 PM To: Beginners CGI Subject: Does CGI.pm have escapeURL? Does CGI.pm have some kind of URL escape function, similar to escapeHTML? I couldn't find any documentation on it in "perldoc CGI", and I tried the obvious, "escapeURL", with negative results. I suppose that the reason there is no obvious function for this is if you have a form submitted with GET, the escaping happens automatically. But what I need to do is build my own query string to redirect to, so I need to do the escaping myself. I know what the algorithm is and have even done it before, but if CGI.pm provides it, I should be using that one, right? - John __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
