Hi, I have an application running under apache 1.37(win32)/mod_perl1.27_01-dev/perl5.6 build 633
I am trying to move this application to apache 2.0.47(win32)/mod_perl1.99_10-dev/perl 5.8 However I run into a problem with character encoding. Somewhere in this app I put up a form that contains text. The encoding of the html page that contains this form is set to 'utf-8' by the following: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> That form displays OK in both mod_perl1.0 and mod_perl2.0 When I read the form back under the apache1, everything is OK. When I do the same using the apache 2 combination I run into trouble with the char ref entities entities which are high in the unicode set like: — or –. These characters are returned as unicode characters hex 97 and hex 96. Other character ref entities like the one for e (e umlaut = ë) are returned correctly. So I assume that only characters above 07FFF are returned wrong. Anybody any idea? Thanks in advance Bart PS: some might say that this has nothing to do with mod_perl. And maybe you are right, but I have no clue which part might be causing this. I am fairly sure it is not perl5.8. Although in order to make the apache2/mod_perl2 combination to work I had to upgrade the CGI.pm to version 3.0 -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
