hello,
i am trying to write a bot to download wkipedia artictles using WWW:Wikipedia, a subclass of LWP::UserAgent. pages returned by the wikipedia server contains utf8 characters such as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS. however, i see that the lwp module is not handling the search results as utf8 encoded. i see that th e character Ö is treated as three individual bytes and not a single character. how do i specify that the lwp useragent must handle utf8 chars?

thanks in advance,
dave
