I guess setting optRawInput (EMBPERL_OPTIONS) will solve your problem. (if
the are outputed by some Perl code)
See the Faq.pod and the section "Inside Embperl" in the docs for more
details.

There's a whole section in the FAQ about these problems. Also the
optRawInput option is mentioned more than once in the docs, but I always
happy to include any patches that improves the documentation or the code...

This solution works great for the problem i had yesterday! It's a bit
tricky with setting the option in a seperate [-...-] block BEFORE the
block which uses it. As a hint for Ken: For outputting HTML-Strings, you
have to set $escmode=0; before the output

Perhaps Gerald could set somewhere in the documentation a more prominent
link to a small topic "inputting, parsing and outputting HTML-Strings"
because i think, that problem will occur more often.
