more help with spaces, please (the '%20's are breeding!)
Okay so this works:
$location =~ s/ /%20/g;
if I take it out, it doesn't work (in Netscape, but IE is fine).
However, it is replacing a single space with THREE '%20's
So that what should be "new york" comes out as "new%20%20%20york" on one page....
But wait there's more (no pun intended)!
On the next page there are 9 of them! they are multiplying by three!
New%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%2
The script works nonetheless, but this is really messy.
Anyone know why it's doing this, and how I can fix it?
Thank you.

Thanks I'm still trying. It won't let me
use strict;
it returns:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
If I remove strict the script still executes but stupid NS is still screwing up.
I will give ALL 465 of my points to the first person who can help me edit my scripts, and help me to put everything in order so that I can be sure my calls and functions aren't redundant. I'm not asking you to do the work. This started out as a hobby but now it's not fun any more :(

This question should have been deleted as it was accidentally duplicated by EE - not me. But since it remains open, the solution was this:
the standard doesn't allow to use space you should replace them with "+" sign
as posted in the original question, which should not have been duplicated.

Thanks Again.

use CGI;
use strict;
CGI will parse out the %20s for you and put spaces there.
Secondly use Tsvetomir's comment and use:
$location =~ s/\s+/\%20/g;
