This is a nasty first-cut patch to add proper character set support to CGI::Wiki, as per my anguished rambling in #openguides today.
OK - nothing is going to get done about this until I get back from holiday in a week, so if you want to tidy it up/add anything else/abstract it a bit more, you have until then. *Mail me again no sooner than a week on Monday*.
bad things about it: apart from the ugliness? It requires perl 5.8.
Yes, you need to fix that :)
And I've fixed it. Attached is a patch to add charset support to CGI::Wiki that falls back to the old behaviour if you are running under 5.6.
The current CVS CGI::Wiki::Kwiki takes advantage of this, and default new C::W::K installs will be full utf-8 wikis. Imports from CGI::Kwiki wikis that have used nasty utf8 chars seem to work, and you can put high-bit stuff into pages.
