Re^2: Digest Authentication encoding issue

Here is what i my attempt to do the same thing through a cgi perl script using the Digest::MD5 module

open FILE, ">>$ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'}/some_path/some_other_path/some_pas
+s_file" or die $!;

   print FILE "webmaster:&#916;&#951;&#956;&#953;&#959;&#965;&#961;&#9
+47;&#943;&#945; &#914;&#940;&#963;&#951;&#962; &#916;&#949;&#948;&#95
+9;&#956;&#941;&#957;&#969;&#957;!:"          .Digest::MD5::md5_hex("a
+dmin:&#916;&#951;&#956;&#953;&#959;&#965;&#961;&#947;&#943;&#945; &#9
+14;&#940;&#963;&#951;&#962; &#916;&#949;&#948;&#959;&#956;&#941;&#957
+;&#969;&#957;!:this_is_the_pass")          ."\n";

close FILE;

But when it comes to authentication when i enter the credentials apache says there are wrong.
An encoding issue again? the init.pl file which the above code resides is encoded in 'UTF-8'.

Please suggest something else than hitting my head on the wall ;)
