Has anyone had success with submitting data that contains non-English characters via a bot? I'm currently working on some Perl scripts to extract and upload data from a number of external sources related to the subject of our wiki -- thanks, James Birkholz, for the extension code by I decided to go another way -- and some of this material consists of translations of foreign (esp., French and Irish) terms that contain various accented characters. The basic bot is working -- login, upload 1 or more articles, logout, produce some reports on what happened -- but I haven't had much success with uploading articles non-standard characters. For those familiar with Perl, I'm using the LWP modules (LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Request::Common, mostly) and thought I might be able to handle this using the URI::Escape module, but no success. The best workaround I have so far is to replace the characters with HTML entities but that interferes with searching for the terms once they are uploaded. Any suggestions, advice, or pointers to helpful resources would be appreciated. John Blumel
