Thanks. My workstation version of the CGI documentation is apparently outdated, and did 
not mention that "pragma".  The CPAN version does.
But yes, I will need file uploads too, and since there is no telling how exactly the -utf8 
flag interferes with them, I think I'll stick with the p.i.t.a. method for now.

I wonder why browsers do not put a charset parameter in the multipart/form-data parts..
It would seem like a logical and MIME-conformant thing to do.
