Hi Stephane,

i have not (yet) figured out how to convert multi-byte characters from URL-encoding back into in the correct Unicode characters in Perl. There are a couple of Perl packages claiming to be able to to that, but the two i have tested didn't work correct with all characters, for example the German Umlauts äöü are working fine, but the sharp s (ß) does not. - Work in progress…

Best regards from Charleston (WV),      Frank/2

sorry for the non-functional box utility! /boxes/ is using the file
//usr/share/boxes/boxes/ on my development-system (Oracle Linux 7.9) to
store the box design-definitions, whereas on the production-server (Centos
8.2) the filename is//usr/share/boxes/ instead. Had to add a couple of lines
to the perl program to determine the correct filename and now it works:
It fails for Unicode characters. I input "deux cafés" in Lagrange and
I get mojibake "deux cafés"
