I am trying to use CGI::Session (and of course, CGI::Cookie) together with 'use encoding "utf-8"', but things seems not to work.
The error is 'Can't locate object method "renewed" via package "Encode::utf8" at /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/CGI.pm' that seems to be common to other modules. For example, a google search shown similar problems with Safe.
I am not sure yet about who is responsbible for the bug, Encode, CGI::Session or CGI::Cookie. But if this kind of problem was detected previously probably somebody knows where is the problem and can point me to the correct place, so I can try to correct this bug.
What are you trying to achieve? The Encode module is enough for most cases. Read the first two of http://p3rl.org/UNI.

The truth is that I tried to not use the encoding pragma. I do not like it as well. I prefer to binmode file handles and normally that works.
But with CGIs I get some problems. First, I am not able to binmode Template Toolkit when it opens templates. Or at least I can't find documentation on that.
The other problem is how to control the encoding from the environment variables, from CGI param and other stuff like that. But for these I think my current solution uses Encode already.
I'll fight with this script later today.

This is the way to go.

Encode seems to have problems by itself.
Can't locate object method "renewed" via package "Encode::utf8" at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/Encode.pm line 174. , And this happens from time to time...
:-(
