Re: What is the proper way to read non-ANSI data

If I set binmode ":encoding(UTF-8)" on the pipe, data containing the character '–' is read correctly, but the character '·' is not. If I omit the binmode call, the '·' character is read correctly,

Then the output being produced by dumptorrent.exe must not be encoded as either ascii or utf8.

Typically unicode on windows system is cp1250; so try that.

cp1250 seems to do the same thing as omitting the binmode call: '·' is read correctly, but '–' isn't.	[reply]

Then you'll need to work out what encoding the program is outputting. (That's the problem with Unicode; it doesn't self identify.) Try posting a few lines of the output from running the following command: `dumptorrent.exe the.file \| perl -nle"print; print unpack 'H*', $_"` [download] Perhaps the output will allow someone to recognise the encoding being used.
