Hi All,
I recently encountered the dreaded utf8 funny characters, again. This
time on the input data coming from form entry fields.
Here's what I use:

That looks useful, Rhesa.
Is there a variation of it that makes sense to submit as patch for CGI.pm?
I hadn't considered that. The more recent "-utf8" looks like it does the same
thing:
# in CGI->param
my @result = @{$self->{param}{$name}};
if ($PARAM_UTF8) {
eval "require Encode; 1;" unless Encode->can('decode'); # bring in these
functions
@result = map {ref $_ ? $_ : Encode::decode(utf8=>$_) } @result;
}
The only differences I can see is that
* I don't try to decode false values
* I do try to decode values that are references, but not filenos
* I wrap the decode in an eval
I have a hard time imagining the first two would break Mike's code, but he
said it didn't work for him. Would it have been the lack of eval?
