Sorry for the confusion. If you go back to the very beginning of this thread, you will see that my last explanation is why we are at this point. I was trying to properly see the output of the Perl script. I couldn't, so I tested it out by writing the output to a file from within the Perl script. I thought it didn't work at first. However, I discovered that it did except with all kinds of character encoding. I guess what is happening, is the encoding issue you are talking about is somehow interfering with my C program's ability to capture and/or display the output from the Perl script of which I am calling. In a nutshell I want to:
1) call my perl script from my C program, 2) Perl script then issues a HTTP GET request, returns and prints out result, 3) C program captures this output that was printed to stdout

I have steps 1 and 2 working. However, thanks to you, I have discovered that I have some kind of hurdle here with the character encoding that is preventing #3 and I don't know what to do now.
