in thread writing utf8 files under WindowsXP

Sorry for my ignorance: I tried your suggestion: 
while (<IN>) {from_to($_,"cp1250", "utf8"); print OUT $_;}

[download]
but it complains about from_to, and I do have "use Encode" at the top of the script. What else does from_to need? Thanks

    You need to use Encode like this: 
    use Encode qw/from_to/;
...
from_to( $_, "cp1250", "utf8" );
...

    Alternatively, you could use it like this: 
    use Encode;
...
Encode::from_to( $_, "cp1250", "utf8" );
...

    This is because by default, Encode does not export the "from_to" function into the "main" namespace of your script.
