How can I set the output character encoding of Apache::ASP output?
Regular perl/CGI output defaults to ISO-8859-1 encoding, and may be
easily modified using the use open prama or binmode() function. Here is
my test script:
# Latin-1.cgi: ##############
#use open ( ":utf8", ":std" );
#binmode ( STDOUT, ":encoding(ISO-8859-1)" );
use CGI;
print CGI::header();
use Encode;
print Encode::decode('ISO-8859-1',"\xE2"),
Encode::decode('UTF-8',Encode::encode('UTF-8',"\xE2")),
"\x{00E2}",
chr(0x00E2);
#############################
>perl Latin-1.cgi
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
ââââ
>perl Latin-1.cgi | tail -1 | hexdump
0000000 e2e2 e2e2
0000004
This script correctly produces ISO-8859-1 encoded output.
However, Apache::ASP appears to default to some strange mix of
ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 that I can't make sense of.
Additionally, the use open pragma and binmode() function appear to have
no effect:
# Latin-1.rasp: #############
<%
#use open ( ":utf8", ":std" );
#binmode ( STDOUT, ":encoding(ISO-8859-1)" );
$::Response->{Charset} = "ISO-8859-1";
use Encode;
print Encode::decode('ISO-8859-1',"\xE2"),
Encode::decode('UTF-8',Encode::encode('UTF-8',"\xE2")),
"\x{00E2}",
chr(0x00E2);
%>
#############################
>asp-perl Latin-1.rasp
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Length: 6
Cache-Control: private
ââââ
>asp-perl Latin-1.rasp | tail -1 | hexdump
0000000 a2c3 a2c3 e2e2
0000006
For some reason, the first 2 test characters are UTF-8 encoded, and the
last 2 are ISO-8859-1 encoded.
How can I get the same results as the CGI script above?
