Re^2: CGI::Application - Which is the proper way of handling and outputting utf8

I don't think this will work because QUERY_STRING is %-encoded. If C::A does not perform character decoding itself, you'll have to post-process each parameter that C::A creates with the appropirate decode (e.g. decode_utf8).

While this article is not Perl-specific, it does discuss many of the encoding issues associated with web applications, and I've found it very valuable: Character Conversions from Browser to Database	[reply]

Good catch. Indeed passing a utf8_decoded query string to CGI->new makes no sense, and you need to decode each thing individually. Time for an encoding aware CGI.pm!	[reply]
