Hi!

I work on a web-application that needs to generate XML in different encodings (utf-8 and iso8859-15), depending on the client.

I would like to generate the XML with TT, ideally with one shared template for both cases. (The problem is getting the interpolated variables encoded properly).

I have tried something like this: 

use strict;
use Template;

my $config = {
              ENCODING => "iso8859-15",
             };

my $template = Template->new($config);

$template->process("test.tt", { var => "gödel" });

But it does not come out right - it comes out as utf8.

Can someone help me here?

The system is Ubuntu Server 10.04 with Perl 5.10.
