in reply to Superscript 2 character set issue

useutf8 only affects string literals in your program code, not data that comes from the outside. Maybe you have to run it through Encode::decode first.

    Thanks for the help there. That cleared up some things for me. removed use utf8; and encode('utf8', $string) took care of it

    thanks again!
