This is a bug report for perl from patola@gmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
URI::Escape does not escape ():

use URI::Escape;

printf "%s\n", uri_escape_utf8("()");
printf "%s\n", uri_escape_utf8("()","()#@!$%^&*()");
--------result:
()
%28%29
--------on the manual page it says it should:
/usr/share/perl5/URI/Escape.pm:

 19 A URI consists of a restricted set of characters,
 20 denoted as C<uric> in RFC 2396.  The restricted set of characters
 21 consists of digits, letters, and a few graphic symbols chosen from
 22 those common to most of the character encodings and input facilities
 23 available to Internet users:
 24
 25   "A" .. "Z", "a" .. "z", "0" .. "9",
 26   ";", "/", "?", ":", "@", "&", "=", "+", "$", ",", "[", "]",   #
reserved
 27   "-", "_", ".", "!", "~", "*", "'", "(", ")"

The error is on that line:

172     # Default unsafe characters.  RFC 2732 ^(uric - reserved)
173     $text =~ s/([^A-Za-z0-9\-_.!~*'()])/$escapes{$1} || _fail_hi($1)/ge;

It should not be (), but \(\):
173     $text =~ s/([^A-Za-z0-9\-_.!~*'\(\)])/$escapes{$1} ||
_fail_hi($1)/ge;
