That is good advice. I will check out forward(), however, in this case I think I do want a redirect. I am trying to implement an HTTP permanent redirect, so I want the URI to change in the address bar. Which is why I want to pass the entire params hashref to the new URI.

I am guessing I have to "manually" add them to the redirect command just as I am adding the param('format') bit. However, since I don't know the params that might have been sent to the old URI, is there a way to send with the redirect request whatever params are in the query string?
