Hi, I'm on CentOS 5 machine and thought changing default charset of 'ISO-8859-1' to 'UTF-8' is not a big deal in Apache 2.2, so I updated httpd.conf to have this line: Code: AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 Restarted Apache and open default page in Firefox: Code: http://serverip/ it showing good 'UTF-8'. Now when I try to run perl scripts: Code: http://serverip/cgi-bin/myscript.pl it shows 'ISO-8859-1' charset instead of expected 'UTF-8' while checking from browser. We are not setting any specific config in perl and Apache should report Charset as 'UTF-8'. How can I force Apache to set UTF-8 for all contents it serve, including perl scripts? Kindly suggest, I'm out of ideas... Regards,
