It looks like that SDBM_File file handler or something else in it's

I don't know how to force it to know this :( maybe some SDBM_File
expert here
will know.
Hmm, I thought that perhaps it was something with Apache::ASP, and
that SDBM_File would be a dependency that was being passed bad data?
However the workaround for this is to NOT mark the string you get
as utf8 i.e.
don't do Encode::decode_utf8. Just set your pages/server to send to
the browser
header saying that you need utf8 as request charset and you will be
fine.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
will do this or
$Response->AddHeader()
I suppose I misunderstood the purpose of this <meta> tag...so not
only output, but inputs get encoded as UTF-8 here? Cool stuff....
When, then, would I need to use decode_utf8? I suppose it's for file-
reading or command-line input then?
What this solution does NOT do - it does not validate the input to
be legal utf8.
True. Will keep that in mind.
But most of the time you will be fine.
Hope this helps.

Thanks!

Wondering if anyone has ever encountered this issue.
Trying to internationalize my site, so at every input, I pass it
through Encode::decode_utf8.
However, when I attempt to put the values into Session, I get the
following message:

An example is if I use the capital Omega character (option-z on mac
keyboard), this error occurs when attempting to store into Session:
> my $secret_answer = Encode::decode_utf8($main::Request->Form
> ('secret_answer'));
> $main::Session->{secret_answer} = $secret_answer;
I've discovered that if I put the decoded value into a hash, and then
put the hash into Session, it behaves normally. Also, if I don't
decode at all, it behaves normally also.
Would anyone know why this happens, or how to fix it?
Thanks!
