Re^3: Unexpected output from my PERL program. WHAT is my problem???

Then how come if I call the Perl script by itself, it prints "HELLO-Hello-HELLO" with no blank to stdout?

I've already updated my earlier post with an answer to that. ("You're going to insist ...")

I am just trying to print out simple text and nothing else. I want the format to be latin1/iso-8859-1

binmode(STDOUT, ':encoding(iso-8859-1)');

print $response->decode_content(default_charset => 'UTF-16be');

ikegami: Thanks for all your help. That was all that I needed....those TWO LINES: `binmode(STDOUT, ':encoding(iso-8859-1)'); print $response->decode_content(default_charset => 'UTF-16be');` [download] I don't know how I missed that the first time you posted it.	[reply] [d/l]

Two things I meant to say: Since the perl program now returns text according to your C program's definition, you won't have problems with `popen` iso-8859-1 can only represent a small subset of the characters supported by UTF-16. The conversion to iso-8559-1 may result in information loss. I don't know how I missed that the first time you posted it. This is the first time I posted this. I needed to know what kind of data you had before I could post a solution. The solution is not a general solution. It would be inappropriate for XML, for example.	[reply] [d/l]

iso-8859-1 can only represent a small subset of the characters supported by UTF-16. The conversion to iso-8559-1 may result in information loss. Just for future reference in case I run across this situation, is there a charset that can be used to circumvent this issue? Or am I stuck with the potential loss? Thanks.	[reply]
