Re: treat files with umlauts (utf)

in reply to treat files with umlauts (utf)

Here is a quick fix which might work in your case.


use Encode;

chdir ($scandir);
opendir(DIR,'.');
@files=grep {-f $_} readdir(DIR);

# this line tells Perl to interpret the filenames as utf8,
# and once done, your umlauts should appear
@files = map{ decode('utf8',$_) } @files;
