Re: Unaccenting characters

I noticed several problems:

Single quotes do not interpolate. Use $table{"$1"} or even no quotes at all: $table{$1}.
Tell Perl what encoding your script uses. It should be UTF-8 and you should therefore use utf8;.
If you are reading the data from a file, set the input encoding. You can use either
```
open my $IN, '<:utf8', $filename or die $!;
[download]
```
or
```
open my $IN, '<', $filename or die $!;
binmode $IN, ':utf8';
[download]
```
Set the output encoding to UTF-8, too, if you plan to output any accented characters.

Hmmm, but I don't know what kind of input I'm getting. I have the 'guess' function running just before this part of the script to determine if I need to encode into UTF8 first or not. Will setting the input encoding to be UTF8 change the input into UTF8, or just tell the server to expect UTF8?	[reply]
