Hello Monks, - I want to read data from the file and process it but there is a problem with character encoding. http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/~hajic/courses/npfl067/TEXTCZ1.txt Simply, I am not able to read file, convert content in utf8 and and print correctly to STDOUT. I tried opening with: UTF16 (detected by guess_encoding from Encode::Guess) and UCS-2 (detected by enca in Unix) but I couldn't; 
open my $FILE, "<:encoding(UCS-2)", 'TEXTCZ1.txt' or die "Cannot open 
+the TEXTCZ1.txt! \n";
my $content = do { local $/; <$FILE> };

I can get the text in utf8 in different way but that's not nice, like: 
my $text = get("http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/~hajic/courses/npfl067/TEXTCZ1
+.txt");
open my $FILE, '>', 'file.txt' or die "$!\n";
print $FILE $text;
open $FILE, "<:encoding(iso-8859-2)", 'file.txt' or die "$!\n"; 
open my $NEWFILE, ">:encoding(utf-8)", 'fileutf8.txt' or die "$!\n";
print $NEWFILE $_ while <$FILE>;
open $FILE, "<:encoding(utf-8)", 'fileutf8.txt' or die "$!\n"; 
$content = do { local $/; <$FILE> };

Do you have any suggestions to reda directly from file as utf8? I also do not know why text from get() is different than in the file.
