in reply to Login to Java site with WWW::Scripter charset issue

http://search.cpan.org/grep?cpanid=SPROUT&release=WWW-Scripter-0.029&string=charset&i=1&n=1&C=3 and http://search.cpan.org/grep?cpanid=SPROUT&release=WWW-Scripter-0.029&string=Content.Type&i=1&n=1&C=3

suggest the problem is with the website, either the html or the javascript is setting the charset erroneously, and scripter obliges

So, since Scripter is a LWP subclass, you might see http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/LWP::UserAgent#Handlers and http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/HTTP::Config#Matching like 

my $umf = URI->new( $urlLogin );
$scripter->add_handler(
  request_prepare => sub {
  my($request, $ua, $h) = @_
  ->content_type_charset
  return;
},
  m_scheme => $umf->scheme, # only call this handler 
  m_host => $umf->host,     # for this host ...
);

    Whoops, unfinished though there :) 

    my($type, $charset) = $h->content_type_charset;
$h->content_type( $type ); # ditch charset
