I misunderstood your question - I thought you were trying
to do this just under mod_perl, without CGI.pm. The
CGI::Apache2::Wrapper package and CGI.pm are intended
to give the same results, assuming the tests pass:
 http://search.cpan.org/src/RKOBES/CGI-Apache2-Wrapper-0.21/t/response/TestCGI/misc.pm
If none of the CGI.pm options to url() give what you need,
you may want to ask the author of CGI.pm, Lincoln Stein, 
about the background for the present behavior.
