charset setting for modules

I'm helping a friend with his site and I need to pass Japanese characters from an email response into a script.

the script uses mime::tools +

I've tried ...

Code:
use CGI qw(:standard); 
use DBI(); 

use MIME::Parser qw(-charset=>'shift_jis'); 
use Mail::Address; 
use MIME::Entity qw(-charset=>'shift_jis'); 
#use MIME::Body; 
use Data::Dumper; 

use MIME::Body qw(-charset=>'shift_jis');

I'm getting lost in all this and just started slapping on the qw(-charset=>'shift_jis'); bits which just doesn't seem right.

any suggestions on how I should declare the character setting vaules?

much appreciated.

openoffice + gimp + sketch ... Smile

What are you trying to do? Why are you using so many modules? Why are you using DBI if it's just sending the contents of a fill out form to an email?
