in thread Cannot preserve Latin 2 character sets in Perl

Is the problem you describe related to your original problem at all? I don't remember reading anything about mysql, CGI, browsers etc.

Anyway, what charset do you specify in the Content-Type header?

    OK, this worked.

    I took a clue from your post and did the following. I changed the meta header from

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> to

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2" />

    And I also changed the code from

    $HTML = encode( "iso-8859-2", $HTML); to

    encode( "iso-8859-2", $HTML);

    Now my Croatian characters are showing up like they are supposed to. I was additionally confused by the fact that my Notepad++ character settings were not showing the Croatian characters correctly. They show up fine in Dreamweaver.

    Thanks for the tips, everyone. I consider the problem SOLVED.
