Well, it looks like Allen is in fact telling the browser which encoding to
use, both in the header and the document. I think he is trying to figure
out why he has to set it to UTF-8 when he believes the text is in gb2312.
I believe that perl is printing the text as UTF-8 because it isn't being
told
otherwise.
