[Catalyst] + in GET param

[Tatsuhiko Miyagawa]

I tested but couldn't reproduce. So I wouldn't say this is a Cat bug.

% catalyst.pl TestApp
% cd TestApp
% vi lib/TestApp/Controller/Root.pm

sub default : Private {
    my ( $self, $c ) = @_;

    # Hello World
    $c->response->body("Hello " . ($c->req->param('username') || "(default)"));
}

% ./script/testapp_server.pl

Access http://localhost:3000/?username=first.last%2Bme%40gmail.com

It prints out "Hello first.last+me at gmail.com".

Check Catalyst::Engine versions or whatever plugins you use that
messes something with request parameters?
