I never had the need to handle 2 byte chars, so Embperl doesn't know it
either, but if you help me, I think it should be possible to make Embperl "2
byte char aware".

So what I need is a more detailed describtion. How does the content of
QUERY_STRING look like in a two byte enironement? How must it be splitted?
Is there a way that works for 1byte chars and 2bytes chars? If not, how can
we determinate that we now handling two byte chars?

I would like to make Embperl handle these things correctly, but I have zero
knowledge about 2 byte charset, so I need your help.

Gerald

Is it an issue with the data, or the page? Does the output page have
the correct language encoding headers?
I believe (based on more guesswork than practice) that the right way
to do this is to capture the language headers on the form submission
from the browser, and then use those when doing the output. That
could be done manually, but Embperl might capture that information
with the form info and automatically set the language if the form is
used for output (as well as allowing the user to grab it and store it
if they need to).

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
