NOW i am trying the suggested way
* In controller test.pm > added the following (note the
German Umlaut)
sub index : Private {
   my ( $self, $c ) = _;
       $c->stash-> = "xFC"; #
<--- German Umlaut
       $c->stash-> = 'test.tt2';
}

* made sure that encoding of controller "test.pm"
and view template
"test.tt2" is *ASCII*

* starting server and going to url : __character is still
garbled__

It seems to me that Template-Toolkit does no UTF-8-encoding
of the
outputted variables.

well, it shouldn't.

In perl, strings are already utf8, internally. If TT was to
do
encoding, they would be double-encoded.

so what you have to do is get that u-with-umlaut *into* perl
as a utf8
encoded string. which is a combination of whatever your
editor is
doing, and the utf8 pragma.

strange that you still get the problem when you use the x
notation though.

have you tried just writing a test script and outputting the
string
into a utf8-aware terminal?
