How to set Content-type properly

Hi.

I am using :
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) DAV/2 SVN/1.5.1 mod_jk/1.2.26 PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny9 with Suhosin-Patch
mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g mod_apreq2-20051231/2.6.0 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0

In a PerlResponseHandler, I am using Template-Toolkit to generate html pages sent back to
the browser.
Before rendering a template, I set the response Content-type header, as :

$r->content_type('text/html');

This results in a HTTP response to the browser, with the following header :

Content-Type: text/html

However, I would like this :

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

How do I do that ?

is

$r->content_type('text/html; charset=UTF-8');

admissible ?

Re: How to set Content-type properly

Thank you.

May I suggest a slight improvement in the online doc at
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestRec.html# C_content_type_
then, to add this explicitly ?
Currently, it says :

quote

content_type

Get/set the HTTP response Content-type header value.

my $content_type = $r->content_type();
my $prev_content_type = $r->content_type($new_content_type);

* obj: $r ( Apache2::RequestRec object )
* opt arg1: $new_content_type (MIME type string)

Assign a new HTTP response content-type. It will affect the response only if HTTP
headers weren't sent yet.
* ret: $content_type

The current content-type value.

If $new_content_type was passed, the previous value is returned instead.
* since: 2.0.00

For example, set the Content-type header to text/plain.

$r->content_type('text/plain');

If you set this header via the headers_out table directly, it will be ignored by Apache.
So do not do that.

unquote

Maybe just an additional example :

$r->content_type('text/plain; charset=UTF-8');
