Hi,

I have this code in an upload script: 
    print STDERR "Filename 1: $filename  \n";    
    my $test = $filename =~ tr{&[]ÀÂÄàâäÇçÉÊÈËéêèëÏÌÎïìîÖÔÒöôòÜÛÙüûù?!
+;«»()" íóñÑáéóúÁÉÍÓÚ}{___aaaaaacceeeeeeeeiiiiiioooooouuuuuu_________i
+onnaeouaeiou};
    print STDERR "FOO REPLACE: $test \n";
    print STDERR "Filename 2: $filename  \n";

[download]
When I run this in upload.cgi, it comes up as: 
Filename 1: regular-expressions-cheat-sheet áíé-v2.pdf  
FOO REPLACE: 1 
Filename 2: regular-expressions-cheat-sheet_áíé-v2.pdf

[download]
Notice the space got replaced with _... but thats it. Yet in my test script on my Strawberry Perl on my PC, I get: 
my $test = "tegular-expressions-cheat-sheet_áíé-v2.pdf";

$test =~ tr{&[]ÀÂÄàâäÇçÉÊÈËéêèëÏÌÎïìîÖÔÒöôòÜÛÙüûù?!;«»()" íóñÑáéóúÁÉÍÓ
+Ú}{___aaaaaacceeeeeeeeiiiiiioooooouuuuuu_________ionnaeouaeiou};

print "now: $test \n";

[download]
..give me (as I would expect); 
C:\Users\Andy>perl test2.pl
now: tegular-expressions-cheat-sheet_aie-v2.pdf

[download]
can anyone suggest what I may be doing wrong? Its driving me up the wall!

TIA

Andy
