Re: binmode, encoding layer, ignoring encoding problems

If I understand your question, you want to convert a string and replace non-convertable characters with ?. See Handling Malformed Data in Encode documentation.

Hi choroba, I know this piece of documentation. But how does it help me? Probably just some glue informations are missing, but at the moment I don't know how this document helps me. a) Encode says that the default for encoding is `Encode::FB_DEFAULT` and this means that there will be placed a substitution character when a character can't be encoded. That's not true with pushing an encoding layer to a file handle. b) Are the encoding mechanisms with the module Encode somehow interrelated with the encoding done by layers? Clearifing needed. :-) Best regards Andreas	[reply] [d/l]
