2 days ago, I got an email with below subject 

my $subject = "=?GB18030?B?XXXXXXXXXX?=";

[download]

then, When I ran the code, I got below error

Unknown encoding "GB18030" at /usr/lib64/perl5/Encode.pm line 174

I searched it. Then I came to know that GB 18030 is a Chinese government standard.

I found below 2 Urls

https://perldoc.perl.org/Encode/CN.html

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6105316/how-to-convert-from-gbk-encoding-to-utf-8-encoding-in-perl

they talk about Encode::HanExtra

So, Added below line to my code. then, It started working. 


use Encode::HanExtra;

So, Here's my UPDATED code. I think it's worth sharing... 


#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Encode qw(encode decode);
use Encode::HanExtra;
no warnings 'utf8'; 

my @subject = ("Room Rush \303\242\302\200\302\223 Enjoy 25% off on yo
+ur stay. (raw: Room Rush =?utf-8?b?4oCT?= Enjoy 25% off on your stay.
+)",

"Sing Along and Dance with Desmond De Silva at Pegasus Reef Hotel! (ra

"How are you",
"=?GB18030?B?XXXXXXXXXX?=");

for my $subj (@subject) {
    my $subject_decoded = decode("MIME-Header", $subj);
    print $subject_decoded;
    print "\n";
}
