in reply to A Tagcloud For Cory Doctorow

A very useful thing. I'm new to Perl, how would one go about making this thing properly display utf-8 characters in notes and tags? I presume it's a problem with HTTP::server::simple?

    I'm glad you think so!

    I'm new to Perl,

    Welcome! Hope you enjoy it.

    ...how would one go about making this thing properly display utf-8 characters in notes and tags? I presume it's a problem with HTTP::server::simple?

    THAT is an excellent question. I suspect, assuming you've got a reasonably recent version of Perl installed, that it's pretty simple. I'll go read up on the right way to specify utf8 file I/O and make sure that HTTP::server::simple can set up the proper headers, etc. Gimmie a few hours.

      Really useful indeed! Any luck with the unicode thing yet? I'd love to use this for my German language studies....
        Hmm. I ran an experiment, and it seems to have "just worked." /msg me and we'll try to sort this out offline. I'll post back here if there's any updates as a result.
