Re^4: Perl TK character disappearingue

Well, you don't get utf from perlmonks, you get latin-1 or some such, and ś comes back as hex 9C

If you add use utf8; at the bottom of the program it won't display right :) you have to add it to the top

That explains the weirdness I saw, but how would you suggest the OP solve the original problem? Also, do you mean that "use utf8" must be listed first in the "use" list? I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Old Perl Programmer Haiku ................... flash japh	[reply]

How I did it :) wget -O junk ?abspart=1;displaytype=displaycode;node_id=978515;part=1 iconv -f windows-1252 -t UTF-8 < junk > pm978515.pl Then add `use utf8;` at the top of the file pm978515.pl Also, do you mean that "use utf8" must be listed first in the "use" list? If you add "use utf8;" after `$middlebox->insert('end',"This is a test of the ś character");` it won't work, the string won't be displayed properly because it won't be marked/decoded as utf	[reply] [d/l] [select]
