saving decoded unicode value to Session causes error

[Richard Yen]

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has ever encountered this issue.

Trying to internationalize my site, so at every input, I pass it  
through Encode::decode_utf8.

However, when I attempt to put the values into Session, I get the  
following message:
Errors Output
Wide character in subroutine entry at /usr/local/perl/lib/site_perl/ 
5.8.7/MLDBM/Sync/SDBM_File.pm line 80, <GEN10> line 21. , /usr/ 
local/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/Apache/ASP.pm line 1521
Debug Output

lib_filesystem.pm line 41.

lib_peer_review.pm line 389, line 21.
Wide character in subroutine entry at /usr/local/perl/lib/site_perl/ 
5.8.7/MLDBM/Sync/SDBM_File.pm line 80, line 21. , /usr/local/perl/ 
lib/site_perl/5.8.7/Apache/ASP.pm line 1521

An example is if I use the capital Omega character (option-z on mac  
keyboard), this error occurs when attempting to store into Session:

my $secret_answer = Encode::decode_utf8($main::Request->Form 
('secret_answer'));
$main::Session->{secret_answer} = $secret_answer;

I've discovered that if I put the decoded value into a hash, and then  
put the hash into Session, it behaves normally.  Also, if I don't  
decode at all, it behaves normally also.

Would anyone know why this happens, or how to fix it?

Thanks!
