Thanks for the hint! But isn't it better then to tackle the problem
right at the root:
$webapp->query->charset('UTF-8'); # works!

because this would set the header twice, first from CGI.pm to ISO-8859-1
then from the webapp to UTF-8 (no big deal but still) or are there other
reasons why header_add is better?

But since this is more or less academic because both approaches work, I
would be much more interested in good ways to deal with the decoding of
CGI-params and the encoding of TT-templates ;-)
