I've written some helper perl scripts to pull data from a mysql database
and output the data to a textfile for inclusion on a web front page that
I am using.
When I output the data directly from a script, I get strange garbled
characters rather than expected punctuation.

When the page is filtered through drupal's rendering engine, the problem
gets solved:

I suspect that this has something to do with the strings being encoded in
some format that my perl interpreter isn't set up to recognize, but the
pho interpreter used by drupal appears to. I haven't really been able to
describe the problem in a way that has given me useful leads to fixing
the problem in google or google groups, can someone point me in the right
direction?
TIA
