Re^3: win32 txt (with a Ł) -> decode -> encode

According to Wikipedia.

iso-8859-1's A3 codepoint is the pound sign (U+00A3).
cp1252's A3 codepoint is the pound sign (U+00A3) since it's based on iso-8859-1.
iso-8859-2's A3 codepoint is uppercase L with stroke (U+0141).
cp1250's A3 codepoint is uppercase L with stroke (U+0141) since it's based on iso-8859-2.

If this information is accurate, Encode is producing the proper output and wfsp's expectations are wrong.

use Encode qw( decode );

for (qw(
   iso-8859-1 cp1252
   iso-8859-2 cp1250
)) {
   printf( "%-11s U+%04X\n", "$_:", ord( decode($_, "\xA3") ) );
}

iso-8859-1: U+00A3
cp1252:     U+00A3
iso-8859-2: U+0141
cp1250:     U+0141
