Try running a hexdump on the string. It seems it is UTF-16 encoded, there is a zero byte after each character. `echo` probably takes the null char as the end of string as in C. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l]

In this case I would be really interested in `print Dumper($link);` [download] ;)	[reply] [d/l]

Normal Data::Dumper returns `$VAR1 = 'www.youtube.com/watch?v=mark';` [download] but after setting `$Data::Dumper::Useqq = 1;` [download] I get `$VAR1 = "w\0w\0w\0.\0y\0o\0u\0t\0u\0b\0e\0.\0c\0o\0m\0/\0w\0a\0t\0c\0h +\0?\0v\0=\0m\0a\0r\0k\0";` [download] To get the correct output, I have to `use Encode; $link = decode('utf-16-le', $link);` [download] لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l] [select]
