Hi,
am stuck with a problem on
mod_apreq2-20051231/2.6.0 mod_perl/2.0.3 Perl/v5.8.8
form data string with special chars like

böse@¤

POSTed to a handler
is returned as:

b\xc3\xb6se@\xe2\x82\xac

by Apache2::Request::param

to test if the form works well I tried with CGI.pm - there the data is
returned like input.
is there any way to get back the original Data with mod_perl?
I tried different charsets and enctype settings in the form document
and decode utf8 and charset(8) on the mod_perl handler but no success.

Best,
Axel
