Re: Problem with Text::Template 1.43 and Frontier::RPC2 and Japanese text

Hi Peter,

Are you using the utf or bytes pragma(s)? I couldn't reproduce this,
but would be happy to try if you wanted to send me your template. When
I transmit data, I try to use UTF-8.. but that may not suit your needs.

Cheers,
Kevin
