I got a website-form:<input type="submit" value="Benutzer löschen" name="action">. For those who don't know, "Benutzer löschen" is the german translation of delete user. This Button is getting shown correctly on my webpage. Webpage uses UTF-8 encoding.

My Perl-scrpt to delete the user works like this:
my $p_sAction = $oCGI->param( "action" );
if ( !defined( $p_sAction ) ){
    print $oCGI->redirect( "access-denied.pl?reason=110" );
    exit;
} else {
    # do stuff
}

No matter if I use uri_unescape or not, the output doesn't change. Same with "use utf8;".

I actual don't print anything with this perlscript, I just did a print Content type and use utf8 to see if the script maybe is using the wrong encoding...this is what the output always looks like: Benutzer löschen.

I also tried to use this <input type="submit" value="Benutzer l&ouml;schen" name="action"> instead of the one I wrote at the beginning. Doesn't make a difference. Then I took a look in Chrome Developer Tool: I just saw, that If I go on the Network-Tab, and I click my script, clicking on preview, I get this: Benutzer löschen.

Now I have no idea how to fix this. Any ideas?
