Re^12: Weird error log message

Thanks i can see the 1st 3 bytes if BOM is used. Still the link is disfunctional and i dont know why BOM is used.

i try using

#!
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
[download]

and

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use utf8;
[download]

and save my script with the use of Notepad++ with utf8 encoding, but when i upload it wont run. why?

Also in my scripts aprt from the perl syntax i use greek characatets. does that mean that i have to save my scripts in utf8 encoding or ansi? What iam trying to say here is based on what criteria should i choose as to what encoding i must pick for saving my perl scripts? Why ut8? why utf8 without Bom? why ansi? is there a reason? Why locally all encodings work and remotely only ansi does?

[ Oops, posted too soon by accident, so I'll post the rest here ] Still the link is disfunctional No. Like i already said, your end is what's dysfunctional. There's a whole web out there to google, so no excuse. Also in my scripts aprt from the perl syntax i use greek characatets. does that mean that i have to save my scripts in utf8 encoding or ansi? ANSI is not a specific encoding. It's Windows terminology to use the local encoding, for some definition of local. But it's moot. Unless you use the broken/weird `use encoding`, Perl only understands iso-8859-1 (`use utf8;` off) and UTF-8 (`use utf8;` on). iso-8859-1 doesn't support greek characters, so that leaves UTF-8. why utf8 without Bom? U+FEFF is only a BOM if it's the very first character of a file. (It's a zero-width no-break space elsewhere.) `#!` is only a shebang if it's the very first characters of a file. That means you can only use one or the other.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
