the "use utf8" pragma is to tell Perl that your *source code* is in UTF8.
While this can be important, I don't actually have any non-ASCII text in
any of my source code.
What I have done is rebuilt the component to use straight perl instead of
Mason, and have it invoked under ModPerl::Registry. The data now comes out
just fine. From this it is pretty clear (to me) that my Mason output is
getting processed again on the way out, but I have no idea by which of the
myriad of pieces in the puzzle. I know it is important to sort this out,
but for right now I am just happy I can ship a solution to my very crabby
customer.
