in reply to Re^2: mod_perl2 and utf8
in thread mod_perl2 and utf8

I would expect $r->print to accept a string of bytes just like every other print.

The posted code shows that printing to STDOUT in a cmdline script gives the same result for both strings

I followed up by saying you can instruct print to accept characters by telling it how to handle them. This is done on a per-handle basis, and that's what you did for STDOUT with

binmode STDOUT, ':utf8';

You need to do something equivalent with mod_perl's object.

the problem as I see it is that STDOUT under mod_perl2 lacks the utf8-awareness built through the rest of the perl I/O layer, with no way of enabling it.

Not knowing anything about the class except what you've told me, I agree. File a bug report.
