Re: help needed in unicode retriving

Perhaps should you tell perl you want to use unicode first with :

use open ':utf8';
[download]

Hope that helps.

update: Well actually it should even be

use utf8;
[download]

Then all strings will be treated as utf8. "use open ':utf8'" is for opening and writing to utf8 files.

Sorry, my mistake, actually `use utf8;` should do the trick, see the update to my previous message.	[reply] [d/l]
