What does "couldn't get it working" mean?  You couldn't get an
accept-charset on your form tags?

It's just a plugin in.  You add it to the use Catalyst list of
plugins.  It only decodes $c->req->parameters (failing to decode
body_parameters, btw) and then encodes the $c->req->body in
finalize().

Again, not sure what "didn't work" means, but it doesn't require any
other modules -- it just says your templates should be decoded as the
encoding you specify:

    perldoc -m Template::Provider

search for ENCODING
