welcome to Babel! please consider reading The minimum about Unicode to know the minimum about babel. Anonymous probably meant `perl -CSD` instead of `perl -MCSD` see CSD for perl wonderful switches. L* there are no rules, there are no thumbs..	[reply] [d/l] [select]

perl -MCSD ... Where is CSD? With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]
