I believe you're seeing this because CGI::App use the CGI module,
which defaults to ISO-8859-1 as a charset.

>From CGI.pm :

    # set charset to the safe ISO-8859-1
    $self->charset('ISO-8859-1');

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/LDS/CGI.pm-3.48/lib/CGI.pm

I always add the following line :

$webapp->header_add(-charset => 'UTF-8');

to my CGI::App .cgi files to make this go away.
