You need to specify an appropriate encoding type on your STDOUT. See binmode. `use utf8; binmode(STDOUT, ':utf8'); print "Copyright © 2014\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

It appears that the content shown at 0030UT 13 Dec is NOT what you originally posted, rendering the kindly Monk's reply as a 'huh? Why'd he say that?' IOW, you've destroyed the context for future readers. You may wish to consult the FAQs for guidance on the Monastery's norms. Please, when you update, make a prominent notation, and use `<strike>...</strike` to eliminate elements which you wish to retract/disavow or such-like. Spirit of the Monastery	[reply] [d/l] [select]
