Problem with displaying 8859-2 charset with cgi->header

Hello,

I have Linux RHEL v4, apache web server 2.0.52-28.ent

[root@sapphire cgi-bin]# perl -MCGI -e 'print $CGI::VERSION'

3.05

[root@sapphire cgi-bin]# perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.5 built for i386-linux-thread-multi

I'm having problem with displaying polish fonts on web page..

When in perl script I put :

print "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-2\n\n";

everything is OK.

but when in perl script:

use CGI qw(:standard);

my $cgi=new CGI;

print
$cgi->header(-type=>"text/html",-charset=>"iso-8859-2",-cookie=>$cookie);
(*)

I have garbled fonts on my screen.

When used :

print $cgi->header(-type=>"text/html",-cookie=>$cookie);

they are garbled too but in different way.

I need to use (*) because I'm using cookie.

Please help if you can.

Regards

Slawomir Orlowski
