Your document claims its encoded using iso‑8859‑1, but that's wrong. Judging by the repetition patterns when viewed as iso‑8859‑1, it's actually encoded using a multi-byte encoding such as UTF-8. iso‑8859‑* are single-byte encodings. The most likely encoding would be UTF‑8. However, when viewed as UTF‑8, you still see the telltale repetition pattern of a multi-byte encoding. I suspect you did the equivalent of `print(encode('UTF-8', encode('UTF-8', $s)));` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

You mention Notepad. case - you have your data all as hardcoded string in index.pl Include the pragma `use utf8;` in the index.pl. Make sure to select UTF-8 encoding when saving the file. case - you have your data in an outside file I assume your data is in Windows-1253. When reading it into variables, decode it. Or handle the decoding automatically through an IO layer during opening the file: `open my $fh, '<:encoding(windows-1253)', 'filename.dat' or die "could +not open filename.dat for reading: $!";` [download] When writing the XHTML out: Set the proper HTTP header. `header('Content-Type' => 'application/xml+xhtml;charset=UTF-8');` [download] Encode all text and variable contents that's going out to produce the web page: `binmode STDOUT, ':utf8';` [download] Set the proper XML PI. `print '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';` [download] Wiki \| CPAN Testers wiki	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Ur right, this isn't a PERL problem but I'll help you anyway. You need to reverse the polarity on the inputted file. For this you need either a Hydrospanner (I don't think one exists wich is written in PERL, but there are ones in PHP, which is a better language anyway so just use that) or the SonicScrewdriver program written by Linus Torvalds, you can get it at www.fsf.org. BTW I think ur site has been transmogrified?	[reply]
