[Israel.pm] Hebrew with CGI

[Guy Malachi]

I can't seem to do anything in the script once I pass it %uANYTHING in the URL.
I even changed my script to be
	print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
	use Data::Dumper;
	print "<pre>";
	print Dumper \%ENV;
But once there is %u in the URL I get an error.
I played around with it a bit and it seems that if there is a % in the URL that is not followed immediately by two digits then my script fails.

Any ideas?

1. What does your server log say? (It should write something to the log
whenever it responds with HTTP 500 error.)
2. Use a lower level module than CGI (or a callback function from CGI)
and add a function, which translates the URL string from %uXXXX based
one into %hh%hh based?
