Hi all!
I have _javascript_ function, which constructs html query like this:

var url ="">'http://192.168.101.199/personal_account_search_ajax?key='+escape(key)+'&type='+type ;

where variable 'key' is a value of form's line edit. When I enter there
non ASCII symbol, I get
url like this:
http://192.168.101.199/personal_account_search_ajax?key=%u043E&type=name .

Here is my personal_account_search_ajax handler:

package Promtelecom::PersonalAccountSearchAjax;

use strict;
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw( OK );


sub handler {
  my $r = shift;
  my $req = Apache2::Request->new( $r );
  $req->content_type('text/xml; charset=KOI8-R');

  my $search_key = $req->param('key');
  my $search_type = $req->param('type');
  my $archive_search = $req->param('archive_search');

  return Apache2::Const::OK;
}

As I understand, I have to unescape URI here to get right value of
$req->param('key').
How to do it ?

You can try the following:

               # For each value ...

               #  Decodes %XX characters
                $val =~ s/%([0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F])/chr(hex($val))/eg; 

                # Decodes charset
                eval {$newval=Encode::decode('utf8',$val,1)};           
                $newval=Encode::decode('KOI8-R',$val,1) if ($@);

We found problems with IE 6.0 & ajax request: sometimes it doesn't respect page encoding. All our pages are UTF8, but some IE request use iso-8859-1. We add the 'eval' to solve this.

I am a perl utf8 newbie, so it may be some misleading here.
