This is primarily useful for creating links where you wish to preserve some subset of the parameters to the current request, and potentially add or replace others. Given a query string this is doable with regexes, of course, but making sure you get the anchoring and escaping right is tedious and error-prone - this module is simpler. =head1 BUGS AND CAVEATS None known. Note that this module doesn't do any input unescaping of query strings - you're (currently) expected to handle that explicitly yourself. =head1 AUTHOR Gavin Carr =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2004-2005, Gavin Carr.
