I found a way to do this in the .cgi script - but obviously I'd prefer
to do it vai the AJAX submission, instead of having to encode it
properly at the server end :)
my $contents = $IN->param('Review_Contents');
$contents =~ s/([\200-\377]+)/from_utf8({ -string => $1, -
charset => 'ISO-8859-1'})/eg;
$IN->param('Review_Contents' => $contents );
TIA
