xpathscript utf-8 character encoding problem

Tue, 28 Jan 2003 05:34:10 -0800

I have just upgraded to perl 5.8.0, It used to work ok in perl 5.6.1

Any ideas why the output of these lines should be different in XPathScript?

<%=findvalue('article/title'); %>

<% my $silly = findvalue('article/title'); print "$silly"; %>

The first line mangles all the utf-8 characters, the second line produces the utf-8 characters ok - they display properly in my browser and the output is utf-8. The source xml is definitely utf-8. This is not a cache problem.

The mangled output appears to be an attempt at applying a ucs->utf-8 conversion on an already utf-8 encoded string.

The headers for the stylesheet look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
... blah ...

Oh and a further twist - print "$silly<br/>"; produces mangled chars

I'm trying to find if I compiled a module wrongly - there was an option at one stage to do with iso-8859-1 vs utf-8 but now i can't find it.
