Be careful here. iso-8859-1 and unicode share the first 255 character codes, so that these things often look the same. But this will break as soon as you get to a character code that is not available in iso-8859-1, for example a greek character, or a chinese one. Perl tries to be clever behind the scenes; some times it tries to convert to or from utf-8. I never sorted out the gory details, but I know people have had problems with it. I have no idea what HTML::Template assumes... Anyway, this is getting a bit off the topic of zebra. Regards Heikki -- Heikki Levanto heikki at indexdata dot dk "In Murphy We Turst"
