Rikki,

The +'s should be converted to a hex code by the web browser when
submitting the form.  When you run across that particular hex code,
you'll know they mean + and not space.

If I knew you'd write it in perl, I would have given you a tiny
library I used to use back since the beginning of time (lots when I
was working at Razorfish).  It makes perl CGI very simple.
