<p>I think I may have hit on an undocumented [cpan://CGI|CGI.pm] feature, or at least one that I didn't know existed.</p>
<p>When a POST'd form is sent to a CGI.pm enabled script, apparently you can use the query_string() method to create a state-saving parameter list, suitable to be loaded into a new CGI.pm instance to restore the parameters at a later date.</p>
<p>My impression was that the query_string method returned the "unprocessed query string" (quoted from the docs), which led me to believe it returned $ENV{QUERY_STRING}.</p>
<p>Happily, this doesn't appear to be the case. Do other folks use/abuse this feature, and is it something I can rely upon?</p>
