note Jishanator <p>HTML Form = Saved as UTF-8 File. Post > form.pl<p> <p>In a required file, I set binmode (STDOUT, "utf8"); Then from the form.pl, I call a require that goes through a foreach loop that does this:</p> <code> #!/usr/bin/perl use Encode; foreach $field (@fields) { $input{$field} = Encode::decode('UTF-8', $input{$field}); } </code> <p>From form.pl, information is printed out to the user for them to confirm, when submitted, we move to form2.pl.</p> <p>form2.pl outputs everything into an external file.. which then concludes to success.pl which pulls the information from the external file and displays it one last time in a sort of "receipt" manner, for them to print or save.</p> <p>So to summarize the process, HTML Form > form.pl (converts through foreach to utf8) > form2.pl > success.pl (converts through foreach again). If for example, form.pl doesn't convert, the information is all different in success. I'm afraid this might bite me in the ass in a later stage.</p> I posted this, forgot to login... 990536 990843
