Re^3: LWP gives funky characters

Then it's the first possibility. You're missing:

print $cgi->header(-type=>'text/html', -charset=>'UTF-8');
[download]

You probably have

print $cgi->header(-type=>'text/html');
[download]

which is the same as

print $cgi->header(-type=>'text/html', -charset=>'ISO-8859-1');
[download]

That tells the browser you are using one character set when you are using another.

Hmmm... I'm pretty stuck. As I'm looking at it I think Perl is probably doing the right thing, but that the UTF8 string is getting double encoded somewhere else. Thanks, though. That's what I get for going perl -> sql -> aspx -> javascript -> dhtml.... I'm hoping I can fix it coming out of aspx or in the javascript.	[reply]
