To further distill what seems to be the problem, the crux is that CGI::enurl('börse') results in 'b%F6rse' thing for me, but 'börse' for holli, another perlmonk working with german characters, who tried to help me.

The result of this is that cgi post requests work for holli after cgi::enurl-ing, but they fail for me. Very un-dwimmy.

I suspect this has something to do with differences between the default encoding on my system, holli's system, and maybe realbot's system. And I also suspect this has to do with how the perl encode works. But I am at a loss for how to isolate this.

Hope this leads to a solution for both of us somehow...
