NAME

Template::Plugin::Decode - decoding filter plugin for Template-Toolkit.

SYNOPSIS

  at first,
  [% USE Decode %]
  then you can use the filter 'decode'.
  this filter encodes string from UTF-8 to Perl's inner unicode format.
    
  [% multibyte_str | decode %]

DESCRIPTION

Template::Plugin::Decode is a plugin for TT, which allows you to decode output string to unicode(Perl inner format).

NOTE

I guess you often see scrambled results, when you use TT2 with templates and embedded parameters including utf-8 multibyte characters. That's because it combines decoded string(Perl inner format) and undecoded one.

To prevent it, use this module.

This is a one of solutions for this problem.

Use utf-8 template files with BOM and decode parameters that are embedded into it, and you'll never seen garbled text.
