thanks Corion, I read about this already but really do not understand what it really means..

chcp
Active code page: 65001

perl -e "print chr($_) for 1..256"

Wide character in print at -e line 1.
               !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW
+XYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~ 
&#65533;&#65533;&#65533;&#65533;&#65533;&#65533;&#65533;&#65533;&#6553
+3;&#65533;
.... more of these..
[download]

Even with this codepage and in win7 I get the dreadful wide character in print message..

You need to tell Perl your terminal now works in UTF-8. `perl -CO -we "print chr for 1 .. 255"` [download] An you can try higher numbers than 255, too. Update: Missing -e, thanks Your Mother. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
