Does URI::query_form use + instead of space on purpose? I think that
most people are using URI::Encode::uri_unescape for unescaping which i
don't think decodes + to space. If a package (in this case
URI::Amazon::APA) calls uri_unescape after query_form run on spaces
and then needs to run query_form again, it will result in %2Bs instead
of +s.
The easiest thing to do might be to just replace the +s in
URI::_query.pm with %20, but I haven't read the RFC and don't know if
there is a github -- so wanted to inquire.
