This is probably the wrong list for this question, but is anyone
willing to give me a clue why
$line =~ tr/+/ /;
would clip out the lead bytes of a shift-JIS string in a cgi script?
Come to think of it, I think it's being applied while the string is
still hex-encoded, so it makes even less sense to me.
(I know, I should be letting the CGI module decode the url-encoded
string. But I seem to be mis-understanding something fundamental
here. Which is why a newbies list would probably be better for this
question.)
