Here si the code that procudes and fills the contents of the drop down menu: `my @files = <../data/text/*.txt>; my @display_files = map /([^\/]+)\.txt/, @files; print br; print start_form( action=>'index.pl' ); print h1( {class=>'lime'}, "Επέλεξ&# +949; το κείμενο π&# +959;υ σε ενδιαφέ&#9 +61;ει => ", popup_menu( -name=>'select', -values=> +\@display_files ), submit('Εμφάν +ιση'));` [download] As Ani from efnet told me maybe the OS i use (xp from MicroSuck) is so damn persisting on creating utf-8 file contents buu saving the filenames as iso-8859-7 instead!!! What do you think folks?	[reply] [d/l]

Are you sure the rest of the data on your page is really UTF-8? Those "&#XXX" things you're outputting are HTML entities, NOT UTF-8. Also, what version of Perl are you using? -sam	[reply]

I think his browser convert his characters into HTML entities when he copied and pasted them into here. samtregar's observations make no sense if the OP had outputed entities.	[reply]

Actually, looking closer, I think your friend is right. If I tell Firefox to interpret the page as "Greek ISO-8859-7" then the select box looks a lot like a list of Greek words. I can't read Greek so it's hard to know for sure! Try using something like Unicode::Map8 (old-school) or Encode (new-school) to go from ISO-8859-7 to UTF-8. -sam	[reply]
