in reply to Re^4: Ordering meta tags with HTML::Element
in thread Ordering meta tags with HTML::Element

Can you Data::Dump::dd() whatever document that is supposed to represent and explain the problem?

Here is what I tested with firefox, where the charset is located makes no difference, as long as it appears in the document

$VAR1 = "<!DOCTYPE html>

The link I linked before warns against using encodings in which the bytes corresponding to "<script>" in ASCII can encode a different string, like JIS_C6226-1983, JIS_X0212-1990, HZ-GB-2312, JOHAB (Windows code page 1361), encodings based on ISO-2022, and encodings based on EBCDIC..authors must not use the CESU-8, UTF-7, BOCU-1 and SCSU encodings

So the order doesn't matter
