Hi ikegami,

your information was a hint in the right direction. Thank you for that.

But now I face a different error. I made a litte program to show the problem:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use PerlIO::encoding;
use Encode;
use Data::Dumper;

my $a = "\xe2\x82\xac"; #Euro Sign in UTF-8
my $euro_in_unicode = decode("UTF-8", $a);
print Dumper(\$euro_in_unicode), "\n";

open my $fh, ">", "output.txt" or die $!;
{
   local $PerlIO::encoding::fallback = Encode::FB_DEFAULT;
   binmode $fh, ":encoding(latin1)";
}
print $fh $euro_in_unicode, "\n";
close $fh;

[download]

The output of Dumper shows the right codepoint $VAR1 = \"\x{20ac}";. The file output.txt does have a ? sign in it as the Euro-Sign can't be displayed in REAL latin-1, but I get the additional output 

Close with partial character at am85.pl line 18.
Close with partial character.

on the console. Line 18 is the close statement.

Can someone explain that? What do I have to do to get rid of that? What is wrong?

Best regards
Andreas
