I edited Form.pm in many ways just to try:

1. Removed DOCTYPE line.
2. Added <html> at line 221.
3. Added both DOCTYPE and <html>

Unfortunately problem is still there. I also tested using the latest Opera,
and received the same behaviour. So, this is not a browser specific problem.

If I de-select "automatic selection" in Opera and force the character
encoding say to UTF-8, the output is correct. Problem is that browsers
cannot understand character encoding despite the advertised correct charset
value in the META tag.

I feel that something is missing/wrong in the generated html codes, but I am
no expert here. I put the html codes of the first page below for your
convenience.
