Re^3: encoding question

So your script is stored in UTF-8.

Update: And to elaborate, since your script is stored in UTF-8, the string literal is also UTF-8. Decoding an UTF-8 string as Latin-1 is nonsensical. Either keep your script in UTF-8, and use utf8; (preferred), or store your script as Latin-1.

Re^4: encoding question by 7stud (Deacon) on May 21, 2010 at 03:21 UTC
I'm using vim. How do I set the encoding of a perl program I save? Better yet, if I remove the string from my program and move it into a text file, how do I type a latin-1 character in the text file, and how do I save the text file as a latin-1 file? Edit: Ok, I figured out how to type the character: my character palette has two buttons, a Unicode button and an Other Encodings button. When I switch to Other Encodings and select ISO-8859-1, the character codes listed on the left of the character palette change. I checked everything with a hex editor too. Originally, UTF-8 encodings were entered in the text file. So I can get everything to work when the string is in a text file. I guess that is good enough.	[reply]

I'm using vim. How do I set the encoding of a perl program I save? `:set fileencoding=latin1` And as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, you can automate that if you have modelines enabled. Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.	[reply] [d/l]
