Yes, that would be related to not encoding with the plugin.  You need the
plugin to encode output so you don't that that message.

John, you are better off ignoring that Perl is using UTF-8 internally. All
byte data that represents characters must be decoded on input -- and
likewise all characters in Perl must be encoded before writing.


I know I discussed this before, but is there a plan to make decoding and
encoding part of Catalyst core?  Seems to trip people up and it seems like
something that should always be done.
