I would like to switch the encoding of my app from latin1 to UTF-8 and
got it going somehow but am not sure if I am doing it right.
These are my changes in my base class
# seems to be necessary for form input
use CGI '-utf8';
# is there no better way?
sub tt_post_process {
my $self = shift;
my $htmlref = shift;
utf8::encode($$htmlref);
}
sub cgiapp_init {
...
$self->header_add(-charset => 'utf-8');
}
I am using CAP::Dispatch and the TT-plugin. Without the header_add I get
a HTTP header with an ISO-8859-1 charset definition so the browser
thinks it is latin1 and even a
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
in the template won't help.
And is there no better way for the template output than to post_process
the whole template? Is there no way to get the output of tt_process as
UTF-8 so that there is no post_processing necessary?
Any comments?
Thanks
-Michael
