encoding with filtering from command line

BillSeurer has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

use encoding "whatever", Filter=>1;

I'd like to be able to specify an encoding with filtering on the perl command line equivalent to the above statement. I can't figure out the Filter part though. What is the proper syntax?

perl -Mencoding=whatever ???? myscript
perl -M'encoding ?????' myscript

-------
Update:

This works:

perl -Mencoding=whatever,Filter,1 myscript

Thanks!

In addition to previous answer. While in 'use encoding "whatever", Filter => 1;" you really have 'use encoding "whatever","Filter",1;' and with -M you specify the argument list specified with commas and without any quotes. Check perlrun. HtH. Regards, Edward	[reply]

Without knowing the syntax, I would try `perl -Mencoding=whatever,Filter=>1 yourscript` Doesn't that work?	[reply] [d/l]

Right or wrong, I think some quoting would be necessary, so as to avoid redirection to a file named "1", at least under nix. In this case, a double quoting should be fine and system-independent: `perl "-Mencoding=whatever,Filter=>1" yourscript` [download] Flavio (perl -e "print(scalar(reverse('ti.xittelop@oivalf')))") Don't fool yourself.*	[reply] [d/l]
