Quoting URIs

by ambs (Pilgrim)
on Apr 11, 2005 at 10:36 UTC ( [id://446553]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

ambs has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I need to pass as parameter for a script a complete URL. This URL can itself be an URL for a script. So, I need to quote special characters like '&' and '?'.

Is there any module to quote special characters on URIs? Like the standard s/ /%20/ one?

Thanks in advance.

    There's also CGI::Enurl

    Yes, it's CGI. 

    perl -we 'use CGI; print CGI::escape("hello, world\n"), $/'
