I encode a "pound sign" which as a parameter which indicates whether
content is UTF-8, UCS or latin-1 - and this seems to resolve most of the
issues... I did take a lot of effort to fix issues with utf8 and there
are a lot of these - between form -> post; between requests if storing
data in sessions; between script and database; etc...
I do however not use CGI.pm but use APR instead which I know works (and
may be less error prone)
