Subject: C:E:FastCGI may utf8-encode unintentionally
This problem has already been discussed on the Catalyst ML, see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/catalyst/users/25492 Short summary: FCGI seems to have a bug, where a text buffer, that has the utf-8 flag set is automatically utf-8 encoded. This leads to double encoded output, when using Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode with FastCGI. A simple work-around would be to utf8::downgrade($buffer) before handing it over to FCGI.
See also: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=40536 which is the same issue.
This bug is in FCGI itself. The latest dev release (0.68_01) fixes it :)
