Re: Reading File with Czech text inside

I tried this (I could not get access to your URL, so I used another Czech text file):

use Modern::Perl;
use IO::All;

my $text < io('http://web.etf.cuni.cz/ETF-104-version1.txt');

say $text;
[download]

And the text came through nicely (showing just one line with a lot of Czech characters):

Thank u for the reply. Using get, I can read the text normally in utf8 but I want to read already downloaded file with open. The script should not require connection.	[reply]

No problem. I downloaded the text, copied and pasted it into Notepad and saved it as UTF-8 text. The following program reads it without any problem: `use Modern::Perl; use IO::All; my $text < io('./czech-test.txt'); say $text;` [download] And yes, IO::All is that simple, it takes care of all the low-level details and doesn't care if the source or destination of your operation is a file, an FTP server, HTTP(s), a socket, a pipe, a scalar variable, a database, ... It just Does the Right Thing. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout.
