You should probably start by reviewing: http://perldoc.com/perl5.8.4/pod/perluniintro.html http://perldoc.com/perl5.8.4/pod/perlunicode.html Which will cover unicode details as they relate to Perl. From there the only thing I know that you will need to do differently in CGI is to specify a charset back to the browser (though I could be wrong). Have you been through those docs? Always the best way is to dive in and give it a shot, then ask more specific questions... http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
