Hi,

I'm trying to make a basic page, that will grab a site (with non-latin characters on - such as the below Russian page) ... and then extract and print out the title. Here is my code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

    use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
    use strict;
    use lib './';

    use warnings;
    use LWP::UserAgent;
    use HTTP::Request::Common qw(GET);

    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

    # Define user agent type
    $ua->agent('Mozilla/8.0');

    # Request object
    my $req = GET 'http://www.gazeta.ru/culture/2016/04/22/a_8191769.s
+html';

    # Make the request
    my $res = $ua->request($req);

    binmode STDOUT, ":utf8";
    print "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 \n\n";

    if ($res->is_success) {

        my $title;
        $res->content =~ /<title>(.+?)<\/title>/ and $title = $1;

        print "GOT TITLE: $title \n";

    } else {
        print $res->status_line . "\n";
    }

For some reason, it just doesn't seem to want to play ball - I end up with:

Румыния не будет участвовать в «Евровидении-2016» из-за денег - Газета.Ru

Instead of:

Румыния не будет участвовать в «Евровидении-2016» из-за денег - Газета.Ru

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Andy
