Hi!

CGI.pm documentation reports this:
The -charset parameter can be used to control the charac-
ter set sent to the browser. If not provided, defaults to
ISO-8859-1. As a side effect, this sets the charset()
method as well.
I think it's somehow fair, as Perl's default charset (when it doesn't
upgrade automatically to UTF-8) is latin1 (ISO-8859-1). Hopefully,
when Perl will definitely switch to UTF-8, or will provide a
clearer way to decide the charset one wants to use, CGI.pm will just
do the same. ;-)
Talk to you soon, Michele.
