[Catalyst] Re: Double encoded UTF8 output

[Svilen Ivanov]

Actually I solved the problem by putting "use encoding 'utf8'" in
myapp_server.pl (instead in MyApp.pm or MyApp::V::TT). Probably this
will work under mod_perl/apache environment too if I put "use encoding
'utf8' in startup.pl (I haven't tested it though)

The only thing that bothers me is that I still haven't understood the
real cause of the problem...
