Please help me with one more related question: if I am to simply use $r->content_type('text/html'), the final render to the client comes with ';charset=8859-1' appended to the header. Is this the result of Apache, or mod_perl? Is there any way I can just render Content-Type: text/html without a character set in the header?
You've probably got
AddDefaultCharset 8859-1
in your apache config, ("On" == "iso-8859-1")change it to:AddDefaultCharset Off
See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#adddefaultcharset
