Hello Monks !

I'm using CGI.pm save method to save form data in a file: 

sub sparaKunddata {
open (KOF, ">$konfil") or die "Kan inte \xF6ppna filen $konfil. $!";
flock (KOF, 2) or die "Kan inte l\xE5sa filen $konfil. $!";
$qry-> save (*KOF) or die "Kan inte spara filen $konfil. $!"; 
close KOF;}

The problem is that file is saved with URL encoded Swedish letters, even if client is set to ISO 8859-1 and header from server is set to same 
print $qry->header(-type => "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1;", 
                   -cookie => $kaka);

. Is there any way to recode chars before file is saved with save() method or do I have to manipulate file after it's being saved ? Prefferably without using any non-core module

Thanks in advance !
