On response, encodes body into UTF-8 octets. . Note that this plugin tries to autodetect if your response is encoded into characters before trying to encode it into a byte stream. This is *bad* as sometimes it can guess wrongly and cause problems. . As an example, latin1 characters such as é (e-accute) will not actually cause the output to be encoded as utf8. . Using Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding (part of Catalyst 5.90042, packaged in libcatalyst-perl) is much more recommended, and that also does additional things (like decoding file upload filenames and request parameters which this plugin does not). . This plugin should be considered deprecated, but is maintained as a large number of applications are using it already. . Catalyst is an elegant Model-View-Controller web application framework written in Perl.
