Hej Corion and thanks for your reply !

As I've already wrote I'm saving a form data in a .csv file in order to manipulate it later on (say that I'll add some *ix commands later on to every record in a file). The thing is that when I use $qry->save, I get key=value pairs saved with URL encoded characters. I then manipulate that file to get it "back" to CSV format, but all of my Swedish letters (ISO-8859-1 formated from the beginning) are URL formated characters now.

I did then (after help from Anonimous Monk(s)) a subroutine which can manipulate the file once more to get proper formating for Swedish letters, but I was just asking if it was possible (somehow) to get characters URL decoded before file is saved.

Now Anonimous Monk made a great effort trying to explain to me some things, but I'm sorry, I'm just too stupid to understand it.

And because time is running and I have a work to do at my workplace (which besides has nothing to do with programming) I've chosen to manipulate a file one more time and run it through my subroutine that will get Swedish letters back in the right format.
