That makes sense thanks!

$reply->{'response'} = decode('UTF-8', $data{'userChat'}); seems to have done the trick on the test script...

So that's one problem solved. It seems I'm now getting encoding problems from AI::Chat, but only when I call the chat method, not when I call the prompt method. But that doesn't make a lot of sense as prompt uses chat...

I'll have to try and simplify the code and see if I can reproduce it!

Update:

This is the sort of thing I'm getting back from AI::Chat

{response: 'Ã\x83Â\x96zÃ\x83¼r dilerim, belki de sorumu yanlÃ\x84±Ã\
+x85Â\x9F s…rirken en keyif aldÃ\x84±Ã\x84Â\x9FÃ\x84±nÃ\x84±z Ã\x85
+Â\x9Fey ne?\n'}

Another Update:

{
correction: 'Turkce alfabe oldukca turaf.\n\nThe correct sentence shou
+ld be: "Türkçe alfabesi oldukça tuhaf."\n\nExplanation:\n1. The word 
+"Türkçe" is not capitalized, it should be as it's a proper noun.\n2. 
+The word "alfabe" is also missing its possessive suffix, it should be
+ "alfabesi" to show that it belongs to Turkish language.\n3. The word
+ "turaf" is not a word in Turkish. The correct word meaning "strange"
+ or "weird" is "tuhaf".',
response: 'Evet, Türk alfabesi Latin alfabesine dayanır ve 29 harf
+ten oluşur. Her harfin belirli bir sesi temsil ettiği
+ni biliyor muydun?'
}

The correction comes from the prompt method and the characters display correctly whereas the response comes from chat and the is unreadable...
