[cgiapp] Problem displaying French, sometimes

[Mike Tonks]

Hi Ron,

Your script should send a response header as follows:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

and in your HTML source you should have a matching meta-tag:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />


If you're using CA then the response header can be defined by:

$self->header_add(-charset => 'utf-8');

or if you're using sessions then you need something like

$self->session->header_add(-charset => 'utf-8');


The output from the test script looks good - nice to see the utf8
survived an email round trip!

I'll attach the test_utf8.txt file - it's just to test that utf8 data
can be read from a file correctly.

The next part will be more important for you - getting the data from
the database correctly.  As I mentioned you will need to edit the
script at that point to account for your database setup and table
names, etc.
