Hmm. I wonder if anything that accepts both of delimiters works too
well with them mixed. One way could be to use some heuristics like this
(probably needs work, kind of hacky):
my $schar = ($qstring =~ /&[^;]+?=/) ? '&' : ';';

How about using a instance variable in URI, something like this:
$u = URI->new("", "http");
$u->query_param(foo => 1, 2, 3);
$u->query_sepchar('&'); # '&' is the default
print $u->query; # prints foo=1&foo=2&foo=3
$u->query_sepchar(';');
print $u->query; # prints foo=1;foo=2;foo=3
....and if anything !~ /^[;&]$/ would be passed to query_sepchar, it
would carp() and revert to '&'.
