I'm working on an application that needs to be able to encode strings in a user-defined encoding. In the plain-jane CGI proof of concept I did, I just used something like: print "foo".encode(encoding) where encoding is a string like "UTF-8", etc. Is there any way to accomplish this in Quixote, say from a page template? It's acceptable to encode the results of an entire "page"/function/etc in the same encoding, just not the default. Ideas? Nathan R. Yergler
