| Subject: | CGI::Fast: -oldstyle_urls doesn't work |
the method query_string returns the query with semicolons instead of
ampersands inbetween parameters despite the -oldstyle_urls option.
See attached minimal testcase (run it as fastcgi) that shows this bug.
There is also some faulty documentation in CGI.pm 3.29 - it states
"
You can also retrieve the unprocessed query string with
query_string():
$the_string = query_string;
"
However, the query string returned not unprocessed.
Workaround: Use $ENV{QUERY_STRING} instead of $query->query_string()
