The encoding pragma has issues, so I avoid it. Use of the utf8 and open pragmas is more suitable.	[reply]

I tried it, but there are other worries, warnings "Wide character in print at" and @ARGV is still not treated as UTF-8 chars, uc() does not recognize them as chars And perldoc utf8 says In case you are wondering: yes, "use encoding ’utf8’;" works much the same as "use utf8;". In perl58delta i read also: New Unicode Semantics (no more use utf8, almost) Previously in Perl 5.6 to use Unicode one would say "use utf8" and then the operations (like string concatenation) were Unicode-aware in that lexical scope. So i could not even use "use utf8", theoretically ;) Nõnda, WK	[reply]
