David,

One way is to change your outside link from:

http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/foo?bar=47&q=13

to: 

http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/foo?;bar=47&q=13
(add a semicolon after the question mark)

then use embedded perl to get what you want:

[perl values]
$arg = tag_data('session', 'arg');
# do some parsing on $arg to get your info here
# and set values as needed :
$Safe{'values'}{'VARNAME'} = $some_var_parsed_above;
# then the value is available as [value VARNAME] in MV pages
return "";
[/perl]
