Re^6: Reading in utf-8 txt file gives garbled data when printed as part of utf-8 html...

use utf8; doesn't remove the need to binmode the handles.

use utf8;

print($fh chr(0x40));     # Happens to work
print($fh chr(0xC9));     # Generates broken output
print($fh chr(0x2660));   # Warns

binmode($fh, ':utf8');
print($fh chr(0x40));     # Ok
print($fh chr(0xC9));     # Ok
print($fh chr(0x2660));   # Ok

All it does is let Perl know the source is encoded using UTF-8.
