Hi,
Just to clarify...
ISO-8859-1 is not 'Plain American English'. The charset for that is
US-ASCII. ISO-8869-1 is extended ASCII (Latin1), and covers glyphs from most
Western European languages.

(eu), Portuguese (pt), Italian (it), Albanian (sq)
Does it matter what language, or what charset?
You can always look at this and the lang="foo" tags to try to determine
what language, or at least what charset, the page is in. Of course, a
charset (like iso-8869-1) can cover many languages, but at least you
can narrow it down a little if you d

Please people, do NOT cross post to the beginners lists. If your
question is not CGI related, post to the beginners list, if your

"compiled like hotmail" makes no sense. It is how the email client (in
this case Hotmail and Yahoo!) handle incoming email messages. If you
are not adding the proper header information, you can not expect the
client to do what you want.

Hi Andrew,
Please read the perlsec man page (perldoc perlsec) to learn about -T.

That is in the FAQ, which everyone should have read, and shouldn't need to be said
