Whoops, I completely overlooked that you were using this in as get
arguments in a URL. Obviously the array ref won't work. :-)
You need to encode the spaces in the string with '%20' and then decode
those spaces again once you grab the get parameter. You can do this
manually, or use some of the methods in URI and URI::URL to encode and
decode those (I thinnk that's where they are).
