By the way, depending on what charset you are specifying in your html you may get problems. For example, the little CGI script:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Content-Type: text/html"
echo ""

perl -we 'use Encode; $c = encode("UTF-8", "é"); $dc = decode("UTF-8",
+ $c); print "\$c = $c \$dc = $dc\n"'
[download]

displays as: $c = é $dc = é

But if you fix the encoding like:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"
echo ""

perl -we 'use Encode; $c = encode("UTF-8", "é"); $dc = decode("UTF-8",
+ $c); print "\$c = $c \$dc = $dc\n"'
[download]

it displays as: $c = é $dc = é
