Re: Why won't Perl convert (Latin1 | ISO-8859-1) to (UTF-8

When looking at your file, use hexdump. hexdump never lies to you, contrary to many terminals, browsers, text editors and other tools.

Chances are that the conversion works, but whatever you use to identify the encoding lies to your.

@space_monk, @Anonymous Monk, & @moritz Thanks for taking the time to respond. I use my Editor, and file(1); as in: `file ./index.html file -i ./index.html file --mime-type ./index.html file --mime-encoding ./index.html` [download] As to my Editor; it has always correctly reported the loaded file(s) properties in the past, and I have no reason to think it suddenly decided to stop. :) --chris #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw use perl::always; my $perl_version = "5.12.4"; print $perl_version;	[reply] [d/l]
