No, I was not suggesting that would be the default (although I'm not sure
why not handling other serializations by default is a bad idea). Not sure
what you mean by "effective".

Of course it's not that hard. Of course, this isn't hard, either: [1]
map { s/%([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/chr(hex($1))/eg; $_ } split /[&;=]/,
$c->req->body;
I see those as similar operations. The request is serialized in both cases.
But, one should not have to worry about adding low-level details like that
to application code when using an elegant web framework. ;)
No big deal. I was just curious why the HTTP::Body approach was not used in
the existing REST/RPC modules, as that was already the place used by
Catalyst to de-serialize the body. I thought maybe there was a reason I
might not understood, which is why I asked.
[1] Or whatever the correct approach is, and apologies to Damian for the
map.
