I have a cgi generating an html page with the following meta tag: <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">. This causes my browser (Mozilla 1.6) to set it's character coding to utf8
Does it? Have you checked in Mozilla to see that it really is using utf8 encoding? If your HTTP header is not sending utf8, then I don't believe the meta tag is doing what you expect. I'd set the encoding in the HTTP header by calling header(-charset=>'utf-8').

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
