Hi list,
I'm having trouble with mod_perl 2.0 (latest stable build) - I have it set
up to run all my old cgi programs through an aliased directory
(perl-bin->cgi-bin with the mod_perl filters turned on in apache). However,
when running under mod_perl, my output gets garbled characters added to it,
even when I specify the charset for output in the HTML code.
Here it is under my old CGI model (which is now far too CPU-intensive):
http://www.calgarysun.com/cgi-bin/publish.cgi?p=171082&x=articles&s=showbiz
And here it is under mod_perl:
http://www.calgarysun.com/perl-bin/publish.cgi?p=171082&x=articles&s=showbiz
The upshot - for some reason, using exactly the same libraries to publish
content, when run under mod_perl apostrophes become "Â". Anyone have any
idea why? Our publishing system doesn't use any strange character sets -
it's a straight DBD::mysql call to get the results for an article and
straight search-and-replace type regular expressions to place the content in
the templates. Anyone ever seen anything like this?
- does your mysql have any special character set
configuration:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset.html
- are you using the most current DBD-mysql?
- does you Apache server have any special character
set directives:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_charset_lite.html#charsetdefault
- is the script having the problems, presumably running
under ModPerl::Registry, the same as the cgi script?
