[Catalyst] TT and UNICODE: Garbled special characters

[Stefan Kühn]

Hi Tobias
i tried both of it, but still got the same result.

NEXT TRY:
* i saved the controller test.pm in UTF-8 encoding,
* adapted the broken character ...
* called the url
* and it worked!

QUESTION: Catalyst generates Perl files in the computer's standard
encoding (which is cp1252). For *unicode best practice* it should be
in UTF-8 encoded. Do you agree?

Thanks
Stefan
