This problem regards sending a form from a perl script, and currency character encoding issues with the £ (GBP) symbol)
I hope you can help me to solve it.:o
I have done all the testing I can: basially the problem is that invoices reach the customer (in plain text) with totals and sub totals like this: ??
I have used alternatively the latin2 encoding on a british keyboard for £):
numLock shft-3 ,
and the unicode encoding:
£.
These display fine in the browser, unlike the email, and reach paypal correctly, sent as hidden values in the header.
Therefore I conclude that this is something to do with exim's set up.
Enlighten me please, as to exactly why this occurs, and exims handling of UTF8, and how I can get round it, either with adjustment on the server, or in the perl script.
Oooh that would be nice: a really lovely problem for you to help me out in one stroke. Think of all the testing and trials you could have saved me already!
