+Provided that you have specified a character set of ISO-8859-1 (the

+character becomes "<", ">" becomes ">", "&" becomes "&", and
+the quote character becomes """. In addition, the hexadecimal
+0x8b and 0x9b characters, which many windows-based browsers interpret
+as the left and right angle-bracket characters, are replaced by their
+numeric HTML entities ("‹" and "›"). If you manually change
+the charset, either by calling the charset() method explicitly or by
+passing a -charset argument to header(), then B<all> characters will
+be replaced by their numeric entities, since CGI.pm has no lookup
+table for all the possible encodings.
+
+The automatic escaping does not apply to other shortcuts, such as
+h1(). You should call escapeHTML() yourself on untrusted data in
+order to protect your pages against nasty tricks that people may enter
+into guestbooks, etc.. To change the character set, use charset().
