(Use CSS for printing).

Here's one hint that might be helpful:

    test_url => sub {
        my $uri = shift;

        warn "Path is [", $uri->path, "]\n";

    }

The $uri variable is a URI object.  So typing "perldoc URI" will explain the
details.

Path is the path, not the query part:

$ perl -MURI -wle '$uri = URI->new("http://swish-e.com/some/path?print=yes"); print $uri->path; '
/some/path


You have a few options:

$ perl -MURI -wle '$uri = URI->new("http://swish-e.com/some/path?print=yes"); print $uri->query'
print=yes

$ perl -MURI -wle '$uri = URI->new("http://swish-e.com/some/path?print=yes&foo=bar"); print $uri->query'
print=yes&foo=bar

$ perl -MURI -wle '$uri = URI->new("http://swish-e.com/some/path?print=yes&foo=bar"); %param = $uri->query_form; print $param{print}'
yes


But using CSS for print is probably the best solution. ;)
