I was recently investigating a bug in the development Bugzilla, and
discovered the problem was caused by CGI.pm's multipart_start() not
accepting a -charset parameter. This meant that is was impossible to
specify a UTF-8 multipart (without putting the charset in the content
type).

So, I provided a patch to Bugzilla to modify their
Bugzilla::CGI::multipart_start() to accept -charset. This was provided
in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357526 and
subsequently
checked in:

It was suggested that this bug was reported upstream, so here it is...

John,

I agree with this change request. Could you submit a "diff -u" against
CGI.pm 3.43, which also contains an automated test to confirm this
change, as well as a patch to documentation which exposes it?

I would like this change to appear in the next release, with credit to you.

Thanks for the patch!

Mark
