A number of URI characters must be encoded, one of which is "#".
Use "%23" for it. Google "URI encoding" for more detail.
If you don't know about this already,
you _may_ also have written your script in a way that
crackers can get into easily.
Google for "Perl detainting" and "Perl CGI security" and such.
Be sure to use cgi.pm instead of your own cgi interface -- it
has many security checks built in that you may not have thought
about.
