Hi all,

i build some PDFs using LaTeX and Text::Template.

Populating my hash to fill in the template i stumbled over this:

my $customer  =  q(Karl Dämlich);

$customer = encode_utf8($customer);

say $customer;

my $data = {
    customer_name   => $customer,
    factoring_nr    => '123456',
    user            => 'karl',
    invoice_amount  => '50.403,50',
    number_invoices => '5',
    dispatched      => $date,
    approved        => $date_time,
    invoices        => \@invoices,
};

dd $data;

__END__

karl@host:~/mk_pdf # ./template.pl
Karl Dämlich
{
  approved        => "04.12.2015 15:24:42",
  customer_name   => "Karl D\xC3\xA4mlich",
  dispatched      => "04.12.2015",
  factoring_nr    => 123456,
  invoice_amount  => "50.403,50",
  invoices        => [],
  number_invoices => 5,
  user            => "karl",
}

What happenend to the Umlaut?

Update:I gave it up bothering myself. After using the tabular environment instead of hyperref forms everything works. Thanks to all that helped.

Thank you very much for any hint and best regards, Karl
