Subject: Cookie validation fails for Unicode strings
Cookie validation fails when the cookie contains some Unicode characters: set_authen_cookie(value => {string => 'Krůta'}); Now authen_cookie_value returns undef. This can be worked around like this: set_authen_cookie(value => {string => encode_base64(encode_utf8('Krůta'))}); And of course now I have to decode the string back on the other end.

The problem is with CGI::Simple::Cookie and its escaping mechanism. It needs to either encode the data before escaping, or decode it as utf8 after escaping. I'd suggest filing a bug with that package.

I'm going to close this ticket since it's not a problem with this module (directly). Please don't reply to the ticket or it will be re-opened. Thanks, -dave
