I really shouldn't even have to do this at all, since I'm already setting
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
as the header,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
at the start of the document AND, just to be thorough,
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
in the <head> section of all my generated HTML. When I invoke my script at the command line, the output shows up in the terminal with the proper unicode characters. Málaga is Málaga. But the same script, when run by mod_perl, sends "Málaga" to the browser instead. Why is this, and why is it that the only obvious workaround, binmode(), has decided to quietly quit? (and yes, I'm setting binmode() before using print() for for the first time).
Let me know if that's not enough information. Unfortunately I cannot post the entire script in a public forum.
