Subject: url_param() method doesn't accept named arguments
Date: Mon, 04 Feb 2008 17:40:58 -0900
To: bug-CGI.pm [...] rt.cpan.org
From: "Britton Kerin" <bkerin [...] fastmail.fm>
I was surprised that url_param doesn't accept named arguments (i.e. url_param(-name => "foo"), doesn't seem to do what the param(-name => "foo") method does). I think it made it look like the parameter wasn't their which confuuuuused me :) Britton

Thanks for the feedback on CGI.pm. I'm rejecting this bug because CGI.pm is behaving as it is documented. I realize it's inconsistent to be different between the two methods, but I'd rather not add yet-another-way-to-things in this case. Lincoln may re-open this ticket if he feels differently. Mark
