maybe there's an alternative, which is to convert our UTF-8 to UTF-7
unfortunately, there is no tool in windows to do that, and notepad certainly do not support utf-7.
I googled a bit, and found out that there is a program called "ConvertUTF" that claimed to be able to convert UTF to/from one to another, the problem is .....
I cant find any place to download it .... TT__TT
but will general public able to surf UTF-7 sites ? I highly doubt ......
so in the end changing it on server side is the only option?
ok, it seems like there is no way I can update the Perl on the serverside....
I'm going to open a ticket ......
(I wonder what version of Perl is the server using? since UTF-8 Unicode support was introduced to Perl 5.6 in yr 2000)
