OK, so I can eliminate that as a problem.

I do both of these. It's as if Petal is outputting the page in ISO8859-1
instead of UTF8. Michele B. commented that he's had to subclass Petal to
force it to output UTF8 because it was not always doing so.

I tried using Encode but quickly realized that it is not available under
Perl 5.6. So, does anyone have any idea of what encoding Perl uses in
this case? Here's the line that loads the template:

  open FP, "<$file_path" || die 'Cannot read-open $file_path';


Thanks,
William
