in reply to Can Perl convert ISO-? | WIN-? | MAC-? to UTF-8?

I think that you might need to use String::BOM. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -l

use strict;
use warnings;
use String::BOM qw(strip_bom_from_file);

my $file = '/path/to/file';
print strip_bom_from_file($file);

    Greetings Khen1950fx , and thank you for your reply.
    That's good advice. But if I understand what you've offered, it would strip the BOM
    (ByteOrderMarker) from the file(s). While that was probably the case somewhere in their
    past. None of them appear to have one now.

    Thank you again, for your response

    #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
use perl::always;
my $perl_version = "5.12.4";
print $perl_version;

    Why do you think that? Which portion of the OPs question is that supposed to solve?
