I have to include a header like "Content-type: text/html; charset: UTF-8" in my CGI programs to handle multiple character sets. However, I don't know how you customize the headers in Perlscript.

Do any of you have experience with getting perl to play nicely with a 2-Byte character set under PerlScript in IIS? Currently, IIS does nothing short of completely freak out. Consider this code: <%@ LANGUAGE = PerlScript %> <html><body> <% use locale; $Response->Write("English<p>"); # English $Response->Write("“u?{?e<p>"); # Japanese (In Japanese) %> </body></html> Most of you will see what Perl probably sees...a bunch of line noise. I can leave the code alone, hit refresh, and Perl/IIS will generate different error values on different reloads. Usually it's a simple Syntax Error or Cannot find string terminator '"' but sometimes it will: PerlScript Error '80004005' (in cleanup) Unrecognized character ¥xBC example.asp, at Line 6 and sometimes, just for spite, it will work. ;-) Perl and IIS are fine. If I take out the Japanese, I've no problems. Actually, if I put the Japanese inside of <%= “u?{?e %> it seems to work fine, but that is kind of limiting when I need to send e-mail. I've tried embedding the Japanese in HEREDOC, qq() and others. No luck. I'm tempted to try to start parsing it out of a file, but one can imagine how ugly that might become. Thus I ask: I know PerlScript doesn't really support Japanese yet, but is there any reliable way I can force it to do so anyway?

I might try that tomorrow) -Lexicon _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activeperl _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activeperl
