cgiirc uses different perl modules depending on the detected browser:

  $ dpkg -L cgiirc |grep -w interfaces |grep -v css$
  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc/interfaces
  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc/interfaces/opera7.pm
  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc/interfaces/opera.pm
  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc/interfaces/nonjs.pm
  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc/interfaces/mozilla.pm
  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc/interfaces/konqueror.pm
  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc/interfaces/ie.pm
  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc/interfaces/default.pm

There is also:

  $ dpkg -L cgiirc |grep cgi$
  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc/client-perl.cgi
  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc/client.cgi
  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc/irc.cgi
  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiirc/nph-irc.cgi

I checked the GET query strings from the http referer (sic) from when
Wolfgang (who experiences the problem) and Jim (who does not), and
noticed that Jim was using: "?interface=nonjs".

Wolfgang restarted IE with security / custom / active scripting:
disable, and that fixed the problem for him.  Javascript isn't the
problem, but enabling it causes use of a more limited interface, which
happens to allow transmission of '+'.

Debian folk: has anyone else contacted upstream about this issue?  I
mailed David Leadbeater <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, but never got any response.
Maybe someone else wants a turn?
