Re: [htmltmpl] Help! Chinese character displaying problem using HTML::TEMPLATE

Hello Allen,

You say this:
  - "I have set character set to gb2312,"
  - "the encoding character set was set to gb2312"

But in your cgi code, I don't see any of these:
  - use Encode;
  - decode(...
  - encode(...
  - open FH ">:encoding(...
  - use open ':encoding(...

So it looks like you aren't telling perl which encoding to use.

I'm not an encoding expert by any stretch, but I think that in the absence
of your telling perl which encoding to use, it is falling back on UTF-8 (but
I'd expect you to see 'wide character' warnings, so maybe I'm wrong).
This may be why it looks okay when you set your browser to UTF-8.

How to fix?  As I said, I'm no expert.  If I were you, I'd start reading
here:
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlunitut.html and follow all the links until it
starts
to make sense (I'm currently in the process of doing that--again--myself).

Hope that helps (hope I'm at least partly correct),

-- Brad
