This was caused by the fix for http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/ticket/62
introduced in 5.64. 

Personally, I've just added 

    $text =~ s/%([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/chr(hex($1))/eg;

to the few controllers that took text-arguments in the url, but a fix to the 
problem was discussed on irc some days ago.  Don't know what the status is.

Btw, up-to-date cat is 5.65 ;-)
