in reply to Encoding issue

The test.txt has the characters Limón. How to avoid the characters converting to this way.

There is no converting. You need to view test.txt with something capable of interpreting its encoding, if its ASCII or UTF-8

    LWP wont change the encoding, but your console might display weird stuff, for example cmd.exe displays
    $ chcp
Active code page: 437

$ echo Limón  |od -tacx1
0000000   L   i   m   "   n  sp  sp  cr  nl
          L   i   m   ó   n          \r  \n

$ perl -le"  print for @ARGV" Limón |od -tacx1
0000000   L   i   m   s   n  cr  nl
          L   i   m   ≤   n  \r  \n
        4c 69 6d f3 6e 0d 0a

$ perl -le" binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(cp437)'; print for @ARGV" Limón

      I am opening the file 
      open (FILEHANDLE, ">:encoding(iso-8859-1)", "$files");

      But still the problem doesn't solve.

        Why would it solve the problem?
