Mod_perl probably does nothing to your encoding, but Apache might interfere.

a) did you configure your Apache as follows ?

   AddDefaultCharset iso-8859-1

b) try to look a the HTTP traffic (using Firebug or Fiddler2), to see if there are some other charset=... headers generated by some component in your chain. 

c) try some static latin1 pages in Apache htdocs to see if they are rendered correctly.

Hope this helps,

Good luck, Laurent Dami
