Hello,
I recently installed Apache server and activePerl on my system to run my scripts on my machine. Everything runs great, but I was wondering why when I submit a form from one page and have my script do what it is supposed to do, I get & between words instead of +. What I mean is that if in one textfield the user would put "John Doe" for their name, in the string that is passed to the script it would read something like, "blah.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi?name=John&Doe" Why is there a & instead of a + sign like usual? Is it because of the Apache server or activePerl or am I doing something wrong. If someone could help me I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Wouldn't that be a browser problem? I'm not totally sure but I think it's the browser that formats the GET request such as you describe.
