Hi

I'm not sure if it's a bug or if I'm missing something...

My employer uses Pod::ProjectDocs for rendering CPAN like HTML for our modules.

But whatever I do German umlauts in UTF8 are rendered wrongly!

the HTML source shows 

<p>
<p>ä</p>

<p>ö</p>

<p>ü</p>


</div>

while the POD has 
=pod

=encoding utf8

ä

ö

ü

=cut

[download]
I've checked the meta-tag it shows content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

Adding or leaving =encoding utf8 doesn't help, the only result is a warning: 

Unrecognized command 'encoding' skipped at /home/rolf/projects/cgi-bin
+/GLOBAL/DB/gedit_utf.pm line 1

Any ideas?

Cheers Rolf
