in reply to help with cyrillic characters in odd places

FWIW, your directory lister (without loading your html7 etc. modules) works for me but prints gibberish. Removing :std fixes that (v5.26.2). Maybe use strict/warnings will give you additional hints? The rest I can't help sorry. (re: utf8 sub names, I did not know that!)

    Thanks all for replies. I'm truly humbled that people a half a world away give my problems the time of their day. I have been able to make progress: I threw in use strict and use warnings even though they should have been implied by the -w in the shebang and using 5.011. I have to admit that I don't know what :std does...get back to you on that. I did make a reply to you regarding usage in your recent meditation that I hope you can take a look at Re^5: n-dimensional statistical analysis of DNA sequences (or text, or ...).
