Yes, you need to tell perl that the source-code is utf-8.  Here's the code you need:


        {
                use utf8;
                $data->{institution} = "카이스트";
        }

        ...note that the curly brackets are important as they limit the lexical scope of the 'use utf8' pragma.

> Thank you Adam for your support. I have one more question about default values. I want a text to be the default value of a text box for example $data->{institution} = "University of Southampton";  Instead of University of Southampton of course I want to use my Institution name in utf-8. I tried to use Greek Characters for value and the result was something like that: "ΤÎ�Î� Î�Ï�Ï�ικήÏ� Î�ακεδονίαÏ�". Is it possible to force the use of encoding='utf-8'.
