Problem with locale

[Roderick]

I am having problems with a cgi script, it does not represent correctly
the UTF-8 strings of a sqlitedb.

Is there a way to change the locale from inside a script?

I wrote the following testig script:

---
#!/usr/opt/bin/tclsh
puts "Content-Type: text/text; charset=utf-8\r\n\r"
puts AOU=äöü
puts stdout=[fconfigure stdout -encoding]
puts system=[encoding system]
puts $env(LC_ALL)
----

If I run it on a shel I get:

----
Content-Type: text/text; charset=utf-8

AOU=äöü
stdout=utf-8
system=utf-8
en_US.UTF-8
-----

If I run it through CGI I get in the browser:

----
AOU=äöü
stdout=iso8859-1
system=iso8859-1
---

We see:

1) the variable $env(LC_ALL) is not set in CGI.
2) although everywhere the encoding is iso8859-1,
it does understand the UTF-8 of the script (AOU=äöü)!!!!!

I am really confused, any hint?

Thanks a lot

The following solves the problem:

1) Begin the script with

#!/bin/sh
exec tclsh -encoding utf-8 "$0" ${1+"$@"}

2) Put in the script the command

encoding system utf-8

I would preffer

#!/usr/opt/bin/tclsh -encoding utf-8

But FreeBSD seems not to allow it.
