I have a web page which answers your question here:
http://www.lemoda.net/perl/template-encoding/index.html
The content is as follows:
Using Perl's Unicode encoding with the template toolkit
In order to use Perl's internal Unicode encoding with the Template
Toolkit, Template, and UTF-8 encoded files, it is necessary both to
specify the encoding when creating the template object, and to specify
a fourth argument to the object's process command, consisting of a
hash reference {binmode => ':utf8'}:
use Template;
# Give the object an argument ENCODING
my $tt = Template->new ({ENCODING => 'utf8'});
# Add a fourth argument to "process":
$tt->process ("input_file_name", $variables, $output_scalar,
{binmode => ":utf8"})
or die $tt->error ();
It's the first hit if I search for "template toolkit unicode" in Google.
I believe I got this answer from this mailing list a few years ago,
but don't have an exact recollection.
I hope this helps.
