Hi I am trying to encode the html page using cp1252 since it has lot of special characters like € and £ pounds but when i try to save those contents after using HTML::strip .All were displayed as junk values.I tried to encode using cp1252 but its not working.Please help me to fix the issue.


use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath;
use LWP::UserAgent ;
use HTTP::Request ;
use HTML::Entities;
use HTML::Strip;
use encoding "cp1252";



open (OUT, '>:encoding(cp1252)',"/home/local/ANT/jeyakuma/Desktop/test
+.html");
my $URL = 'http://www.footlocker.eu/it/it/k/Customer-Service/Shipping.
+aspx';

my $agent = LWP::UserAgent->new(agent => "Mozilla/5.0");
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET=> $URL);
my $response = $agent->request($request);

# Check the outcome of the response
if ($response->is_success)
{

my $xp = HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath->new_from_content($response->decoded
+_content);
my $raw_html = $xp->findnodes_as_string('//div[@class="faq_text"]/p/st
+rong/u[contains(.,\'spedizione Standard \')]');




 my $hs = HTML::Strip->new();
 my $clean_text = $hs->parse( $raw_html );
 $hs->eof;
 print OUT $clean_text;



}

elsif ($response->is_error)
{
print "Error:$URL\n";
print $response->error_as_HTML;
}
