mp2: Pb using HTML::Entities

[gilles]

I write in my handler something like  :

use HTML::Entities;
...
$r-content_type('text/html;charset=iso-8859-1')
my $txt=Long life to the curren;
decode_entities($txt)
$r-print ($txt);
return Apache::OK;

I get in my navigator : Long life to the . (where . is a symbol 
different from euro symbol).

It seems that Entities dont work with modperl2, but I am sure that's the 
mistake is on my side!
Can somebody tell me the good way of using Entities with mp2.

Thank you.

If the character you're getting is a circle with 4 'spokes' extending
from it to the top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right, then
it's working - however, that's the universal currency symbol.

For the euro, use euro; or #8364;
