How silly of me... I should have provided what the actual text should look like. Please see below -- On Jun 12, 2011, at 2:15 PM, Mr. Puneet Kishor wrote:
using Dancer 1.3051 (that I force-installed because it wouldn't install nicely on Mac OS X) with Apache. The config file says
charset: "UTF-8"

A simple phrase like "EcoVal: a collaborative collection of casestudies" renders like so in Spanish and Portuguese respectively --
• EcoVal: colecci�n colaborativa de estudios
• EcoVal: uma cole��o colaborativa de estudos de caso
In my early days I used to use CGI::Application. I used the following to make sure everything rendered fine
sub translate { return encode_entities( decode_utf8( $_[0] ), "^\t\r\n\040-\177 " ); }
If I use the above with Dancer, it crashes and burn with the following mensaje. It actually doesn't tell me on which which line, in which package, did it find the offending malformed UTF-8 character (as far as I can tell). What should a polyglot do?
---- Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal) at (eval 59) line 1.
