is U+00A0. In UTF-8, it is \xC2\xA0. That is where you are getting the 194 (\xC2). Luckily, this implies that the posted data is in UTF-8. Solving this is the first problem with Unicode on the web. This is normally done by having the HTML pages in UTF-8. The next step is converting the UTF-8 byte string into a Perl Unicode string. CGI.pm will do the conversion if the charset is set to "utf-8". I don't know if Apache2::Request can do the conversion automatically. Otherwise, Encode::decode_utf8 should do the job. - Ian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Mason-users mailing list Mason-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mason-users
