Re: CGI and UTF

[Daisuke Maki]

I can't quite tell if it's related, but while using AxKit I encountered problems with using "." to concatenate strings. I changed the module in question to have a "use bytes" at the top, and that problem went away.

I think it also went away when I use sprintf() to concatenate the strings.

might as well give it a shot? ;)

So I have to get this working. Someone has said that I need to
"normalise" the params from cgi - but I have no idea what that means.

If you have any chance to upgrade to perl-5.8.0, please do it now. The
Unicode model of 5.8.0 is much more mature than that of 5.6.* and the
number of found bugs is close to zero. Your script looks OK and runs
fine under 5.8.0
