I will use TT via CGI::Application::Plugin::TT
Does that change anything?

No -- just make sure that STDOUT is set to the same encoding as the template string variables.

Unfortunatly I can't get it to work at the moment.

I run TT via CGI::Application::Plugin::TT under mod_perl.

I need to generate output as UTF-8 and ISO-8851-1.

The templates do not contain anything that would make a difference with respect to the encoding, so the problem is getting the template-variables encoded properly.

The variables come from a database that uses utf-8.

My understanding was that the TT-Plugin creates a string that is eventually printed to STDOUT to communicate the response to apache.

So I thought changing the encoding of STDOUT via binmode would be sufficient, but it does not work - I get utf-8 regardless of what I set the encoding of STDOUT to.

So I assume mod_perl and apache communicate not via STDOUT...can someone help me here?

Many thanks!
