in thread need help in printing German umlauts

Don't forget the trailing ?=: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use feature qw/say/;
use warnings;
use strict;
use Encode;

my $str = "Wir freuen uns, dass Sie den 1&1 E-Mail-Service f=C3=BCr Ih
+re=20";

say decode('MIME-Header', "=?iso-8859-1?Q?" . $str . "?=");

Output: 

$ perl 1092761.pl
Wir freuen uns, dass Sie den 1&1 E-Mail-Service für Ihre

    Thanks a lot that resolved many issues, the encode doesn't work for Ü and ß
    instead prints as ~_ for ß and ~\ as for Ü
    Thanks again for the help

      Those work for me: 

      #!/usr/bin/perl

use feature qw/say/;
use warnings;
use strict;
use Encode;

my $str = "=C3=9C =C3=9F";

say decode('MIME-Header', "=?iso-8859-1?Q?" . $str . "?=");

      Output: 

      $ perl 1092761.pl
Ü ß
$

      Are you sure your the encoded data's correct? The string should contain the UTF-8 encoding of the character, in essence (for instance, "ß" is C3 9F in UTF-8, so it's encoded as =C3=9F).
