Duplicate Content with asp pages

If you have an asp site that refers to internal pages as

www.example.com/default.asp?q=#*$!x

And perhaps external incoming links are made like this

www.example.com/default.asp?q=#*$!x?Referer=xyz

Would google consider these pages as two seperate pages and then penalise for duplicate content or is google clever enough to realise that it is in fact the same page?

If the URL has one or more characters that are different, then it is a different URL.

If it shows the same content as some other URL then that is Duplicate Content.

You need the script to add a meta robots noindex tag to all the other versions of the URL, OR to use a 301 redirect for all the alternative versions, redirecting all to the canonical version.
