Tested, it works. But then again, this can be done this way only if we are 100% positive that input is always UTF-8 (which is not the case of my script - so I'm back to testing the input and it's still even easier to decode it). I guess then apart from the missing --utf8 from pod2man there is no bug here and this report can be closed. Still, even though, as pointed out, I could have found the answer by checking general perl doc about encoding, maybe just a line in the HTML::Entities man about it could be useful. Nowadays, you can expect input to be very often UTF-8. -- http://yeupou.wordpress.com/
