Hi&lt;p&gt;

I'm not sure if it's a bug or if I'm missing something...&lt;/p&gt;


My employer uses [mod://Pod::ProjectDocs] for rendering CPAN like HTML for our modules.&lt;/p&gt;

But whatever I do German umlauts in UTF8 are rendered wrongly!&lt;p&gt;

the HTML source shows 

&lt;c&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ã¤&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ã¶&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ã¼&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/c&gt;

while the POD has

&lt;c&gt;
=pod

=encoding utf8

ä

ö

ü

=cut
&lt;/c&gt;


I've checked the meta-tag it shows &lt;c&gt;content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /&gt;&lt;/c&gt;

&lt;p&gt;

Adding or leaving &lt;c&gt;=encoding utf8&lt;/c&gt; doesn't help, the only result is a warning:
&lt;c&gt;
Unrecognized command 'encoding' skipped at /home/rolf/projects/cgi-bin/GLOBAL/DB/gedit_utf.pm line 1
&lt;/c&gt;

Any ideas?
&lt;!-- Node text goes above. Div tags should contain sig only --&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cheers Rolf
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</field>
