There is a way of accessing this, but it is engine-dependent.

under apache: $c->apache->args()

under cgi: $c->cgi->query_string()

It seems to me that this is bad practise unless there really is no other 
way of achieving what you want, for example making a new query string 
from the params, like this:

use CGI ();

$query = CGI->new($c->req->params)->query_string;

It may not be the exact string, but it should be 100% functionally 
equivalent.

Hope this helps :-)
