Try uppercase "UTF-8" I tried it in the decode script and got `Unknown PerlIO layer "UTF8" at /home/talexb/bin/decode line 17.` [download] Is there somewhere else that you think the case of 'utf' matters?

Sorry, i was thinking `binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)';` [download] might make a difference, but you need `encode("MIME-Header",decode('UTF-8',$arg)));` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Wow. It works. I'm not sure I understand, but I'll save that for later. Thank you. :) Alex / talexb / Toronto "Groklaw is the open-source mentality applied to legal research" ~ Linus Torvalds	[reply]

To expand on what Anonymous Monk said, @ARGV is one of those things in Perl (like filenames), where Unicode isn't handled automatically, so you need to explicitly `decode` your input.	[reply] [d/l]

I thought I read yesterday in the Camel that `@ARGV` did handle utf-8, otherwise I would have pursued that possibility. Now, of course, I can't find the page that I thought I read. In my case, the input's coming from a web form .. so I may need to do the same thing for another problem I'm having. It would be awesome if this solution solves that problem as well. :) Alex / talexb / Toronto "Groklaw is the open-source mentality applied to legal research" ~ Linus Torvalds	[reply] [d/l]
