[Israel.pm] UTF8 in CGI form parameter

[Shmuel Fomberg]

Hi Peter.

There isn't much document about this function. And looking at the code of
CGI.pm, it seen that it is effective only for utf8 forms. (from the param
function) all other encodings, for example cp1255, will not be handled.
(When I say "handled" I mean that the input strings will be auto converted
to Perl's internal utf8)
Am I right, or do I miss something?

Thanks,
Shmuel.
