Package: CGI
Severity: normal
The following perl program:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
print $q->header(-charset => "utf-8"),
$q->start_html();
produces this output:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
<!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"; lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
where <meta>-tag contains the wrong charset, contradictory to the charset in
the HTTP header.
Even a prior call $q->charset("utf-8") doesn't fix that problem, and even
using the construct
print $q->start_html(-head=>$q->meta({-http_equiv => 'Content-Type',
-content => 'text/html'}));
just adds another line with a <meta http-equiv...>, but still produces the
wrong one as well.

This was apparently fixed with CGI.pm-3.16:
Version 3.16 Wed Feb 8 13:29:11 EST 2006
[...]
7. Fixed charset in start_html() and header() to be in synch.
This made it into Debian with Perl 5.10.0, so closing the bug.
Sorry for the lack of response.
