[cgiapp] Re: utf8 form processing

[Silent]

the CGI::charset() is useful when I use escapeHTML() to escape form values,

in CGI.pm :
####################
sub escapeHTML {
...
...
         my $latin = uc $self->{'.charset'} eq 'ISO-8859-1' ||
                     uc $self->{'.charset'} eq 'WINDOWS-1252';
         if ($latin) {  # bug in some browsers
                $toencode =~ s{'}{'}gso;
                $toencode =~ s{\x8b}{‹}gso;
                $toencode =~ s{\x9b}{›}gso;
                if (defined $newlinestoo && $newlinestoo) {
                     $toencode =~ s{\012}{
}gso;
                     $toencode =~ s{\015}{
}gso;
                }
         }
