URI::Escape

I am writing in hopes someone can explain to me why URI::Escape
doesn't escape the apersand? I assume that it does not escape it, so if
you hand it an already formed URI, you can escape it with out messing up
the apersands used for seperation: name1=value1&name2=value2.
However, I am trying to find a way to escape the apersand within
the value:
print "$name1=", uri_escape($value1), "&name2",
uri_escape($value2);
I added the apersand to the default character list, however, I
would like to know why it wasn't done that way originally.
If it is possible to talk to one of the writers/maintainers I
would love to find out why and see about adding it in the future.
Thanks in advance.
