Erwan, I'm interested to see if we can resolve this, because I want to make sure that CGI::Session works with UTF. However, it's not something I need in my own work, it looks like you do. Would you be willing to help? First, see if you can keep reducing your test script further to see if you can isolate the problem, ideally as a "Test::More" style test script we could add to the test suite. If you do isolate the problem, perhaps you could take the next step and see if could also fix the bug in the source code. If you get stuck at any point, ask for help in the CGI::Session users mailing list. In any case, I'll thank you for the bug report. Someone will look into it further eventually if you don't.

I'm giving this ticket to Ron Savage who has started to look into this. Mark On Sun Oct 22 16:14:58 2006, mark@summersault.com wrote: Show quoted text

I see there's a fix for this in SVN and some passing tests. Would it be too much hassle to make this warning the test emits go away? Some users could take it to indicate a problem. I looked at distributing Test::Warn for this purpose, but it requires a string of dependencies itself. Can't locate package Encode::Encoding for @Encode::utf8::ISA at (eval 19) line 1. Can't locate package Encode::Encoding for @Encode::utf8::ISA at (eval 19) line 1. (in cleanup) Can't locate object method "renewed" via package "Encode::utf8" (perhaps you forgot to load "Encode::utf8"?) at (eval 19) line 1. (in cleanup) Can't locate object method "renewed" via package "Encode::utf8" (perhaps you forgot to load "Encode::utf8"?) at (eval 19) line 1.

My first thought was to patch the text associated with the test to add: Warnings expected. Consult docs re 'utf8' I'll do that now in SVN. Also, let me copy here for the record the rationale I posted to the mailing list for these warnings: <==8><==> The new test program I've written passes all tests, but still emits a deliberate warning message. Here's my thinking: o Tests and installation should not fail in all those cases people are not using utf8 o References to utf8 are on RT, the docs (with my patch), and this email list's archive, to help people diagnose problems o My new test program passes all tests so automated testing and installation can continue, assuming all other problems are fixed, of course o The new test emits a warning so anyone watching the tests' progress will see a reference to utf8 being problematic o Clearly I do not have a solution to this problem, but I have no intention of diving into the innards of utf8-related code, so I see the new test as simply giving people more warning about utf8 problems than they've had up to now <==8><==> Sure, users can be confused, but to me that's better than having their programs behave mysteriously over a known problem. -- Ron Savage ron@savage.net.au http://savage.net.au/index.html

Hi, I had also this problem, but when using Storable as serializer and MySQL for storage. I changed the serializer to yaml and the problem was solved. I know this is just a workaround... If this is of any help: My dsn: DBI:mysql:database=blabala;host=localhost;mysql_enable_utf8=1 note the 'mysql_enable_utf8=1' and I use also DBIx::Simple::UTF8Columns which automatically encodes the data sent to the database. But Storable files/data are binary and are not supposed to be utf8 upgraded. Since YAML dumps are just text there is no problem.

BEROV, I'm not sure I understand: Are suggesting there's still a further change that we should be making in CGI::Session? Mark On Sat Apr 05 13:51:22 2008, BEROV wrote: Show quoted text

Because there is have been no response from the requestor in the last 5 months, I'm considering this resolved.
