2. your html <meta> tag claims the HTML printed from your perl code is utf-8 encoded...
that means I don't know UTF from my butt. I was simply trying different meta tags to try and make my web page claim something that would be understood by my browser -- I tried utf-8 along with x-mac-roman as well as iso-8859-1. I was just shooting in the dark hoping something will stick until I got the brilliant idea that I should ask those who know more than I do, that is, you monks.

update: and note my OP above... this same utf-8 incantation exists in the plain html file with different languages, and that renders just fine on the same computer, same web server, everything. Its just that when put through my perl application, the languages get mangled.
