Before testing end-to-end figure out if the chars from your database are *really* utf-8. I forgot to set an env var for the oracle client library to tell it I want unicode which broke my app under fcgid.
If you're using DBIx::Class to access your database see http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=736234. -- Best regards, Alex Am Montag, den 25.01.2010, 13:43 +0100 schrieb Jens Schwarz: > Hi, > > first of all: I have read > http://dev.catalystframework.org/wiki/tutorialsandhowtos/Using_Unicode > (especially the "Tips for Troubleshooting Unicode in Perl Web Applications") > Nevertheless I have a strange UTF-8 problem that I need help with: > > Concerning UTF-8 everything in my App seems to work correct - except my mail > action (I use Mail::Sender::Easy) in my Root controller: > > <code> > (...) > use Mail::Sender::Easy qw(email); > use utf8; > (...) > sub mail :Private { > (...) > $mail_return = email({ > (...) > 'subject' => (... something from the database ...), > '_text_info' => { > charset => 'utf-8', > encoding => 'quoted-printable', > }, > '_text' => (... some text with literal UTF-8 characters NOT from the > database ...), > (...) > }); > (...) > } > </code> > > This produces mails that have messed up UTF-8 characters although the charset > is set in the mail header, and the clients (right now tested with Thunderbird > 3 and Outlook 2003) are configured to treat incoming mails as utf-8 encoded > text.
