Re^2: Converting UTF8 to ANSI

by "ANSI" I assume you mean Windows-1252.

To find out a machine's actual "ANSI" encoding, you can use the following:

use Win32 qw( );

my $ansi_enc = "cp".Win32::GetACP();

Thank you. I didn't even know a machine can have, an actual vs other, ANSI encoding. I'll look in to it as soon as I can.	[reply]
