Can you trust your terminal emulator to properly handle the output? To me, encoding issues are always a wild goose chase, so I like to eliminate as many things from the encoding dance as quickly as possible. Usually that means that instead of including umlauts (or whatever) in my source code, I use the character names instead:
This eliminates the issue that my text editor is lying to me. When inspecting the output, I either pipe the output through hexdump or through Data::Dumper with $Data::Dumper::Useqq =1; so the console only sees 7bit ASCII. This eliminates my terminal emulator lying to me. Of course, that does not help with reading data from files that I don't control, but every little step helps. In reply to Re^3: Encoding horridness revisited: What's going on here?
