in thread Perl Encoding/Decoding Doubt: From a Novice

It still doesn't work.

I tried the below coding as well, but to no avail.

use open ':std' => ':locale'; # Error: Cannot figure out an encoding to use

Windows doesn't seem to accept the above coding as well.

Now, should I go about changing those characters to HTML entities in Microsoft Word itself and then try doing the conversion, in which case there shouldn't be any problem.

But I am still hopeful there is another way
