UTF-8 handling. The first version of CGI.pm where this problem is fixed
is 3.30

Version 3.30

byte values.


To fix: upgrade CGI.pm to version 3.31 or above
Comment 1 Marcela Mašláňová 2008-06-09 08:06:17 UTC 
I made update to v3.37 for F-9 week ago. 
I can update it also for F-8, but please test it and let me know how it's
working there.
