Subject: Query string parsing error
In at least Catalyst 5.10 and 5.22 (haven't tested in others), the framework doesn't correctly parse a query string of key=value pairs seperated by semicolons. Semicolons are a perfectly valid alternative to using ampersands according to the RFC spec, and modules such as CGI and CGI::Simple all support them; Catalyst should as well.

This is caused by a bug in the URI module. The bug linked below contains a one-line patch to the URI::_query module that will fix the issue. I am not sure why it hasn't been implemented in URI though. http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=27 The good news is this won't affect any Catalyst engine other than the HTTP::Daemon engine.
