Jay, Thanks for your informative reply. After more testing I realized that the problem is not caused by the JSON serializer: if I serialize a perl literal in a utf-8 encoded file the data I get in the browser is correct. Sorry, I should have tested this before posting. It seems then that the data gets wrongly encoded somewhere between the database and the serializer. Now I still need to figure out why the data is sent properly in my other (not restful) controllers, but fails in this one controller. Thanks again, Francesc _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
