Subject: Wrong encoding sent at url
When Mechanize send an url it always use UTF-8/utf8 encoding, but many site only spect her own enconding. This issue fail at v1.54 but is correct at v1.34 Here's a discution about this on Perlmonks: http://www.perlmonks.org/? node_id=752170

The following workaround works for me: package my::WWW::Mechanize; use base 'WWW::Mechanize'; use Encode qw(encode); sub update_html { my ( $self, $html ) = @_; $self->SUPER::update_html( encode( $self->response->encoding, $html ) ); } You will also have to submit accordingly encoded values to field methods to prevent automatical utf8 upgrades within URI's ->query_form() method, e.g. my $encoding = $mech->response->encoding; $mech->submit_form( fields => { map encode( $encoding, $_ ), ... } ); Regards, fany
