-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- We have still been fighting v2.33 UTF-8 Japanese character viewing on web page illegible matter. We found follow things.
Assumption; (1) We translate most of HTML templates from English to Japanese and saved as UTF-8 format as text file. (2) We tested both original files (in English) and translated (in Japanese) files. (1) It is illegible if you use most of version (we tested v2.2 to v2.33) with Perl 5.6.1 except RACE.cgi. Only RACE.cgi and templates/RACE/*html, you can view Japanese characters. (2) It is viewable if you use ActivePerl-5.6.1.625 with v2.33. (3) You can not register Japanese domain name using reg_system.cgi even ActivePerl-5.6.1.625 with v2.33. The result shows "Domain: 簿記.com Registration attempt failed: Registration not allowed under this encoding type." Of course we saved all HTML files as UTF-8 and wrote "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">" in all of HTML files. (4) Only you can register Japanese domain names is you must use Perl 5.004_04 or 5.005_03 with S-JIS mode with v2.22 (from our tested / investigation). Please fix v2.33 enable us to register Japanese domain name with ActivePerl-5.6.1.625 that you wrote we have to use (ActivePerl build 618 or higher) in OpenSRS.conf. Again, the error at last step in reg_system.cgi is "Domain: 簿記.com Registration attempt failed: Registration not allowed under this encoding type."
