Re^4: accents and diacritical marks in a web page

Hi Joost,

use utf8;
# and even adding...
binmode(STDOUT,":utf8");
[download]

doesn't do it. Stuff comes out garbled. It would be nice if it worked, as I wouldn't have use Encode::decode_utf8 on everything, but right now only the latter seems to work.

If you have any suggestions, let me know. In the meantime I will continue to proceed with Encode and then HTML::Entities

Many thanks to you and shmem.

If you use that snippet, you should also make sure the HTML and/or the HTTP headers signal the right encoding (i.e. UTF-8) The only thing "use utf8;" does is remove the need to "decode_utf8" on your string literals. The binmode(STOUD,":utf8"); signals that all output on STDOUT should be utf-8 encoded. i.e. it does nothing to input read from files etc - it only influences literals.
