Ha, nevermind, I figured it out. Turns out that when a param was sent to the script indicating a
cookie should be changed, it was using CGI's header() function to generate the header rather than my
header text. Adding -charset => 'UTF-8' to header() did the trick, naturally.
Still curious about binmode(), though; is there some mod_perl-specific reason that it would fail?
