Did you read the documentation of Encode?

use Encode qw(encode decode);
[download]

fixes the problem. The line

my $thearesp = encode("iso-8859-1", decode("UCS-2LE", $theresponse->co
+ntent));
[download]

uses the functions encode and decode from Encode, which by default aren't exported. You would have figured out surely, had you read the docs.

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

use Encode qw(encode decode); That did the trick, thanks. Did my best to understand the docs but it's like a whole different language to me! :)
