Unfortunately that doesn't change a thing. If I just remembered what changed in the machine...

    Have you done this as the first communication to the browser?

    print "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n\n";

    IE requires this. Firefox will respect the <meta> tag directions, but IE needs to hear of UTF in the content headers.

    Blessings,

      You know, that line is what the CGI header function produces when called with -charset => utf-8.

        Here's an idea, create a small program which reproduces your problem, and show it to us :)

    What do you mean by "that"? Did you need to trace the whole path?
