Hello,

my script, written at the bottom of this post, works, if I read a text file, which I have created before with this script:

my $out = './data/IDs_created.txt';
open (OUT, ">>$out");
print "Enter ID: \n";
    while (<>) {
    print OUT "$_";
}
close OUT;

But the script doesn't work, if I use a text file instead, which I parsed from an excel csv file with this script:

use warnings;
use Text::CSV;
use Encode;

$file = './data/IDS.csv'; #Default
  
#Parsing CSV
my $csv = Text::CSV ->new ({binary =>1, eol => $/});
 
open (CSV, '<:encoding(utf8)', $file) or die "Cannot open $file: $!\n"
+;
open (OUT, '>:encoding(utf8)', './data/IDs_created.txt') or die "Kann 
+Datei nicht öffnen: $!\n";
 
 while (my $line = <CSV>) {
    chomp $line;
        if ($csv->parse($line)) {
        my @fields = $csv->fields ();
        chomp (@fields);
        print OUT "@fields\n";
        }
        else {
        warn "Line could not be parsed: $line\n";
        }
 }
print "CSV parsed and saved as text file: IDs_created.txt!";
close CSV;
close OUT;

And here is the main script: it searches and copies files from one directory into another:

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
#Script allows to search and copy files 
#Thanks to Anonymous Monk
#Works only with PERL created text file!!!
#
#tested: --ok!

use strict; 
use warnings; 
use autodie; 
use File::Find::Rule; 
use File::Slurp; 
use File::Basename;
use File::Copy;

my $startdir = shift or die Usage(); 
my $dirTarget = '/cygdrive/d/tmp/';
my $fnames = join '|', map quotemeta, read_file('./data/IDs_created.tx
+t' , qw/ chomp 1 /); 
my @fnames = find( file => name => qr{$fnames}, in => $startdir ); 
copy ($_, $dirTarget.basename ("$_")) for (@fnames);

Anonymous monk pointed out, that it might be a problem with encoding. But after hours of reading and unsuccessfully trying, I would appreciate any help on this question.
