Thankyou both for responding. In the end I succumbed to the lure of ;
Supposedly it is better anyway because & raises standards and escaping
issues. Still I am curious about this now and would like to understand
just what is going on here.

Hmm. Stewart which version of CGI.pm are you using? I'm on 3.29

I think you need "use CGI qw ( -oldstyle_urls );"
I don't understand why that would work. use CGI qw ( -oldstyle_urls );
ought to be exactly equivalent to
BEGIN {
require CGI;
CGI->import(qw/ -oldstyle_urls /);
}
I tried the use. Still no luck. I tried my code but in a BEGIN block.
Still no luck. Eventually I got it to work by putting
require CGI;
CGI->import(qw/ -oldstyle_urls /);
my $url = CGI->new->self_url;
directly in my runmode. And I got my &s at last! But why would that make
any difference?
