Re^4: Perl to Read/Write Window Unicode Text files

I found that, when you use UTF-16, Perl actually output a "Unicode big endian" text file, not "Unicode". Probably only following two lines of code are important to check the issue: open FH, "<:encoding(UTF-16)", "$inputFile" or die "can't open file"; open (NEWFILE, ">:encoding(UTF-16)","$outputFile") or die "can't open file";

I suggested that you use `<:raw:perlio:encoding(UTF-16le)` [download] or `<:raw:perlio:encoding(UTF-16le):crlf` [download] so I don't understand this reply to my post.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I tried first one <:raw:perlio:encoding(UTF-16le) and it worked !!! It successfully read text a file in Window "Unicode" format and also saved output file as another "Unicode" text file. Thank you so much !!!	[reply]
