OK, I figured my problems had something to do with encodings, but I'm
still learning about these so had no idea where to start. Thanks for
tracking it down Mark.

Here is what locale is telling me:

william at zeus:~/perl$ locale -a
C
en_US
en_US.iso88591
POSIX

The comments in the Petal::Entities module seem to indicate that Petal
is converting the nbsp entity to a Latin 1 character. Do you think this
character is not being translated by the en_US.iso88591 encoding? Are
my locale settings somehow mucking up Petal's output?

Finaly, could someone point me to a good tutorial/introduction to locale
settings in unix? I've found some examples of changing them but would
like a more in-depth discussion.

Thanks,
William
