I'm using PerLDAP v1.4 and Mozilla::LDAP.
The problem is that names with accents (Like Melanie Ruel) have been saved in LDAP database and when I try to display them on a HTML page, I have something like "M??lanie Ruel", and when I make a ldapsearch on that name, it says that cn=NOT ASCII.
I found that string are UTF-8 encoded, but I don't know how can I decode the string to obtain Melanie instead of M??lanie...

I suggest using Net::LDAPapi, it supports UTF8.
I'll check if I find an example, being back soon ...

Which perl module for LDAP are you using? (Net::LDAPapi.pm or Netscape LDAPapi.pm).
