yes indeed, very nice, thank you.

Of course, this means, I have to run everything through HTML::Entities. As I said elsewhere, besides the various interface text, I also have data in a db (currently SQLite) that has text in it in various languages, and that data already has accents as required. When I bring that data up in forms, it shows correctly, but when that form is sent back updated to the database, the accents get clobbered. What it means is the HTML::Entities has to become the gateway for all text going in or out. What a pain. Yet, when I write up the plain text file without escaping all the non-ascii text, it shows up just fine in the browser.
