first of all, thanks for your input, also. > > That said, in my application I have: > > my $file = $c->request->param('file'); > > warn "is_utf8: ", utf8::is_utf8($file), "\n"; > > and see that $file has not been decoded to UTF-8 > If the string has been decoded *from* UTF-8 to Perl's internal > representation, it's *not* going to be marked as UTF8 internally; Maybe I am misunderstanding you, however, if I have a text string that I know contains UTF-8, however, it is not UTF-8 for Perl, yet (is_utf8 false), then I have to use decode() to fix that, right? This is what Catalyst does (and what I showed in my small example): # from Catalyt/Plugin/Unicode/Encoding: Encode::is_utf8( $value ) ? $value : $enc->decode( $value, $CHECK ); After this, everything is good, is_utf8 is true and I could happily live ever after. In theory. I am just confused that this decoded (which does work as expected, contrary to my initial thought) does not reach me in my $file = $c->request->param('file'); warn "is_utf8: ", utf8::is_utf8($file), "\n"; where my parameter is not UTF8, as I need it. Does prepare_uploads() of C::P::Unicode::Encoding not process all my parameters automatically for me? When I add a debug line in the loop of $c->request->{parameters} there I do see my value comeing in, and leaving as UTF8.
