On the second point: add `binmode OUT, ":utf8";`after the file open I think is better, to use `binmode OUT, ":encoding(UTF-8)";` because `':encoding(UTF-8)'checks the data for actually being valid UTF-8`, while `':utf8'` just marks the data as UTF-8 without further checking. Please check binmode. If you tell me, I'll forget. If you show me, I'll remember. if you involve me, I'll understand. --- Author unknown to me	[reply] [d/l] [select]
