Yeah, confirmed above.

The problem is $c->req->param('username') is already decoded when I get
it. I stash the value then pass it to a dbic search, which by that time
already has a space in it.

I can't do anything other than pass it to uri_for, which encodes it and
get the value back in via $c->req, which has already turned the + into a
space.

What can I do *before* $c->req->param('username')  ???
