No, it comes with a modern Perl. Ferdora 38 (which Sainathuni claims to be using) comes with 5.36.1. I don't know why anyone would choose to run 5.16 on such an modern O/S. Perhaps Sainathuni is simply mistaken.

Yes, it's my bad. The perl version got swapped. new Linux server with Fedora 38 Operating system has Perl version 5.36.0; old Linux server Centos Operating System has perl version 5.16.3

Well that makes a lot more sense :-)

I see you have updated your original post, which is good. However, please mark your updates as such when you have a moment otherwise this entire subthread becomes confusing and/or meaningless. Thanks.

That sounds much better.

There *may* be a problem with accidentaly outputting the internal Unicode representation to a subsystem that requires classic 8 bit per byte stuff (e.g. print, file handling, network sockets, databases, etc).

You can try to use Encode to encode/decode internal Unicode to UTF8. E.g.:

use Encode qw(decode encode);
$characters = decode('UTF-8', $octets,     Encode::FB_CROAK);
$octets     = encode('UTF-8', $characters, Encode::FB_CROAK);

You might have to do that in multiple places.

It's hard to give you any better information, a Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example would prove helpful in narrowing down the problem further.
