Re^4: HTML Form > PERL Script in UTF-8 issue

CGI, yes the Meta tag is in for everything. The HTML form itself is saved as UTF8, PERL files don't like UTF8 format, therefore they must remain in ANSI.

Perl has no likings. I am able to save scripts in utf-8 without problems. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]

What do you mean, how did you do so? I'm using Notepad++ and if I convert a PL file to UTF-8, the script no longer runs.	[reply]

Likely an extra byte-order mark Notepad++ adds by default. Windows editors are nasty like that. (You should be able to turn it off from the options.)	[reply]
