Re^5: utf8 in perl

It will NOT work. I can't think Why?

Because the MIME-encoded parts are not properly terminated. GIGO. They should end with ?=. By changing them to ensure that they are properly terminated they work fine.

#!/usr/bin/env perl 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Encode qw(encode decode);

my @subject = ("Room Rush \303\242\302\200\302\223 Enjoy 25% off on yo
+ur stay. (raw: Room Rush =?utf-8?b?4oCT?= Enjoy 25% off on your stay.
+)",
"Last Day To Enjoy Extra 15% OFF On Everything For NDB Credit Cards (r
+aw: =?utf-8?Q?Last=20Day=20To=20Enjoy=20Extra=2015%=20OFF=20On=20Ever

"Sing Along and Dance with Desmond De Silva at Pegasus Reef Hotel! (ra

for my $subj (@subject) {
    my $decoded = decode ("MIME-Header", $subj);
    print encode ("UTF-8", $decoded) . "\n";
}

2 days ago, I got an email with below subject `my $subject = "=?GB18030?B?XXXXXXXXXX?=";` [download] then, When I ran the code, I got below error Unknown encoding "GB18030" at /usr/lib64/perl5/Encode.pm line 174 I searched it. Then I came to know that GB 18030 is a Chinese government standard. I found below 2 Urls https://perldoc.perl.org/Encode/CN.html https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6105316/how-to-convert-from-gbk-encoding-to-utf-8-encoding-in-perl they talk about Encode::HanExtra So, Added below line to my code. then, It started working. `use Encode::HanExtra;` [download] So, Here's my UPDATED code. I think it's worth sharing... #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Encode qw(encode decode); use Encode::HanExtra; no warnings 'utf8'; my @subject = ("Room Rush \303\242\302\200\302\223 Enjoy 25% off on yo +ur stay.
