  7. Empty name/values pairs are now properly saved and restored from filehandles. Thanks to rlucas and
     Rhesa Rozendaal (RT#13158)
  8. Some differences between startform() and start_form() have been fixed. Thanks to Slaven Rezic and
     Shawn Corey. (RT#22046)
  9. url_param() has been updated to be more consistent with the documentation and param().
     Thanks to Britton Kerin and Yanick Campoux. (RT#43587)
  10.hidden() now correctly supports multiple default values.
     Thanks to david@dierauer.net and Russell Jenkins. (RT#20436)
  11.Calling CGI->new() no longer clobbers the value of $_ in the current scope.
     Thanks to Alexey Tourbin, Bob Kuo and Mark Stosberg. (RT#25131)
  12.UTF-8 params should not get double-decoded now.
     Thanks to Yves, Bodo, Burak G�rsoy, and Michael Schout. (RT#19913)
  13.We now give objects passed to CGI::Carp::die a chance to be stringified.
     Thanks to teek and Yanick Champoux (RT#41530)
  14.Turning off autoEscape() now only affects the behavior of built-in HTML

# MODULE FLAGS

There are a number of global module flags which affect how CGI.pm operates.

- **$CGI::APPEND\_QUERY\_STRING**

    If set to a non-zero value, this will add query string parameters to a POST
    forms parameters hence allowing _param()_ to return values from the query
    string as well as from the decoded POST request instead of having to use
    _url\_param_ instead. This makes it easier to get the value of a parameter
    when you don't know the source.

# COMPATIBILITY WITH CGI-LIB.PL

To make it easier to port existing programs that use cgi-lib.pl the
compatibility routine "ReadParse" is provided. Porting is simple:
