It probably has as it uses HTML::Parser underneath. HTML::Parser is not really Unicode aware. The strings passed to the event callback will not preserve the UTF8 flag of strings it parses. A workaround can be to pass it encoded UTF8. I would also welcome patch suggestions that make HTML::Parser that propegates the UTF8 flag. Regards, Gisle
