Most likely your web pages are setting a different character set to the one you are using on your computer. So, for instance, your default character set on your computer may be utf8, but your web pages claim to be in ISO-8559-1, so the unicode characters that you type in are being interpreted by the browser incorrectly. Have a look in the perldocs at : - perluniintro - perlunicode - utf8 - perlrun (look at command line switch -C) - Encode Also, if you are pulling unicode data out of a MySQL database, you need to let perl know that the data is unicode, as it doesn't detect it itself. ________________________________________________________________________ Clinton Gormley [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.TravelJury.com - For travellers, By travellers
