Hi i wish to scrape the content and store that in its respective names.When I prints the crawl content it doesn't print any special characters.All special characters are replaced by some junk values. for example (€)euro is printed as (-aA). I am scraping the site which is full of special characters and German language. So most of the crawled content are different from original content.Thanks in advance 

use LWP::Simple;
use File::Compare;
use HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath;
use LWP::UserAgent;





open(FILE, "C:/Users/jk/Desktop/input/input.txt");  

{
        
while(<FILE>)
    {                   
   chomp;
   $url=$_;
   foreach ($url)
    {
    ($domain) = $url =~ m|www.([A-Z a-z 0-9]+.{3}).|x;
    }
    
    
do 'C:/Users/jk/Desktop/perl/mainsub.pl';
&domain_check();

    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(agent => "Mozilla/5.0");
    my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => "$url");
    my $res = $ua->request($req);
    die("error") unless $res->is_success;

    my $xp = HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath->new_from_content($res->content)
+;
    my @node =  $xp->findnodes_as_strings("$xpath");

    die("node doesn't exist") if $#node == -1; 


foreach(<@node>)
{
$death=$_;
open HTML ">C:/Users/jk/Desktop/fun/perl/$site.html";
print HTML "$death\n";
}

}
}
