I know that this question is slightly off-topic, but still seems relevant. I am unable to download and run 1nickt's solution Re: Regex: matching any Number then a hyphen to a recent question because of a single non-ascii character.
While displaying the node in the browser 'Chrome' on Windows 7, I click on the 'download' button. The file displays correctly. I right-click and select 'save as' then save as I.pl. When I run the file, I get the following error:
C:\Users\Bill\forums\monks>perl I.pl
1..3
Malformed UTF-8 character: \x96 (unexpected continuation byte 0x96, wi
+th no prec
eding start byte) at I.pl line 9.
Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal) at I.pl line 9.
Using Internet explorer is slightly different, but no better.
I have also tried cut-and-paste into the editor 'gvim'. It does not even display correctly. No luck saving it to a file.
What is the recommended way to download and edit files containing UTF-8 characters from perlmonks into windows?
Sorry if I have overlooked the tutorial that I need.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
