Using %fdat inside a url - embperl 1.3.3

[Kee Hinckley <na...@somewhere.com>]

I wrote a routine that takes a reference to %fdat and constructs a 
URL (it temporarily turns $escmode to 0).  After a lot of confusion I 
finally figured out why it wasn't working.

This
	[- foo(\%fdat) -]
passes a reference to a hash

This
	<a href="[- foo(\%fdat) -]">
passes the first element of the hash

I can get around the problem by using a temporary variable, but is 
there any other way?  And what's the reason for this?

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.

Use you have set optRawInput the \ is treated as escape before %fd, which is
an URL escape. Either set optRawInpit in EMBPERL_OPTIONS or use two \
