note remiah <p> I couldn't fully trace this, nor understand all. If you are going to have some trial, 4 lines of dirty patch to ProjectDocs::Parse.pm seems to me work.<br><br> 1. decode $self->{buffer} to character. Add 2 lines <code> use Encode qw/decode/; $self->{buffer}=decode('UTF-8', $self->{buffer}); </code> just after the line <code> $self->{buffer} = join "\n", qq[<div class="pod">], $self->{buffer}, "</div>"; </code> ,which is in the "end_pos" sub. <br><br> 2. encode $self->{buffer} back. Add 2 lines <code> use Encode(qw/encode/); $self->{buffer}=encode('UTF-8', $self->{buffer}); </code> just after <code> $self->SUPER::parse_from_file(@_); </code> ,which is in "parse_from_file" sub.<br><br> before SUPER::parse_from_file, it has no troble. after SUPER::parse_from_file, it is troubled. "end_pos" is callback from Pod::Parser. </p> 995425 995425
