"knock it down" ! eq "The error message is (....)" nor "The output varies from what I expected; (samples). "tried Encode::Guess...." ! eq (the code you wrote) A snippet of the code that failed (boil it down, check that that is indeed what leads to the failure) and the exact output will get you better answers.

I am sorry that they are gone. Can anybody show the workable code?	[reply]

The Encode::Guess documentation shows pieces of working code in the synopsis. I used it that way, and it worked for me (with utf-8, ISO-8859-1 and a few others, can't recall exactly). If you have more specific requirements, you need more specific code. But we don't know about any of these, so we can't help you. Sorry.	[reply]

In my experience it works fine with UTF-8 (although it needs quite a bit of data to work reliably). Could you show us some example code, and the data that "knocked" it down? (perhaps post a hexdump of the data here, I don't think perlmonks is binary-safe ;-) And if it dies for some data, maybe you should write a bug report.	[reply]
