Opening of the first modules a new Gemini station

[Frank Jüdes]

Hi Stephane,

i have not (yet) figured out how to convert multi-byte characters from URL-encoding back into in the correct Unicode characters in Perl. There are a couple of Perl packages claiming to be able to to that, but the two i have tested didn't work correct with all characters, for example the German Umlauts äöü are working fine, but the sharp s (ß) does not. - Work in progress…

Best regards from Charleston (WV),
