Hi Monks,
I wrote a Perl script for Win2k Platform
What the script does is
1) Opens a file in read mode say a.txt
2) searches for specific file names using regular expression in a.txt
3) Then opens each files listed in a.txt & searches for particular entry in each file using regular expression
4)If entry is found then I am showing that filename on screen

Now when I exceute this script on Windows 2000 English (Professional /Server) the script provides the expected results.But if I execute the same on Windows 2000 German platform the script provides unexpected result.

What could be the problem? Perl Gurus pl. help me & give me a solution.

Additional Info: When I opened a.txt file & displayed its contain on screen on german platform it gave following output
{say a.txt contains Hello.txt system.txt }
On English Platform I get
Hello.txt system.txt

And on German Platform
H e l l o . t x t   s y s t e m . t x t

Because of this my regular expression do not work
Pl. provide me the solution Thanks in advance!

Edited by BazB: remove markup from title, added code tags around output
