RE: [tlug] perl, cgi, and moji-baki-SOLVED

["Erin D. Hughes" <erin@example.com>]

Special Thanks to Edmund, Brett and David,

I knew I was close and all I need to do was get the right encoding but after
staring at it for to long I needed a different pair of eyes to show me where
I was going wrong. Thanks Guys.
Solution was change
my $name_plus			= "$name II";
my $name_coded		= &jcode::sjis($name_plus);
my $body_coded		= &jcode::sjis($body);

to

my $name_plus			= "$name II";
my $name_coded		= &jcode::jis($name_plus);
my $body_coded		= &jcode::jis($body);

The 7 bit encoding in the header was screwing up the shift-jis in the body.

Also I know this is a Linux form but I use Outlook Express (please don't
hate on me) to get my subject lines encoded correctly by sending the
Japanese subject line to my OE account and going into the message header and
pulling it directly from there. MS has some good uses they are just
difficult to find.

Thanks Again,

Erin

PS David Later tonight I will read up on that module you showed me as well.

This Perl module might help you out with sending mail in Japanese.
There are others that do more with mail, but this one looks pretty simple.
